from the Anishinabe Ojibway Nation: According to Star Tribune staff
writer Pat Doyle, who wrote an in-depth article on the Mille Lacs Treaty
re-negotiations in last Sunday’s paper ...Ojibwe News.
Abstract: According to Star Tribune staff writer Pat Doyle, who wrote an
in-depth article on the Mille Lacs Treaty re-negotiations in last Sunday’s
paper, the people of Mille Lacs are “Chippewa, or Ojibwe...”For you media writers who mold public
opinion, we would like to clarify that the “Chippewa” are an entirely different
group of people than the Anishinabe Ojibway.The Chippewa Indians have European or Indo-European fathers; the
Chippewa Indians have the same values as their European fathers; and if they
ever had any Aboriginal Indigenous ancestors, the Chippewa Indians have lost
their identity because of their White fathers.(The only reason that the “Chippewa Indians” are a distinct and
identifiable group of people, separated from the Whites, is because of European
racism, superstition, guilt, genocide, miscegenation, lust and greed.)The Anishinabe Ojibway are NOT! the same
people as the Chippewa Indians!The
Anishinabe Ojibway are the Aboriginal Indigenous People of this land, who still
have our patrilineal Anishinabe Ojibway Clan and Dodem.Our fathers, and their fathers and
grandfathers, for time immemorial, were all Anishinabe Ojibway of this
Continent.We can prove—with your own
U.S. Government documents—that the Anishinabe Ojibway did NOT sign the “Indian
Treaties” because we are not “Indians.”
The external governments which were brought in here by the colonizing European
nation-states, also brought in relocated people from other places, and turned
them into “Chippewa Indians.”Since the
Anishinabe Ojibway people own the land, and the Chippewa Indians signed the
Treaties “selling land” which the Chippewa Indians did not own, it is in the
vested interests of the immigrant Europeans to confuse the two groups of people
using Crooked and slippery English.ABOLISHING OF TREATY-MAKING, MARCH 3, 1871:The United States Congress, in 1871, in an obscure rider to the
Indian Appropriations Bill, outlawedfurther treaties with Indian tribes.The U.S. Congress outlawed more treaty-making because both the
“Indians” and the Whites who made the treaties were “outlaws.”
Treaty-making is, along with “peace” pipes, a foreign European concept, and is
not indigenous to this land.The
Treaties were written only in the alien European language of English.The parties negotiating the Treaties were
the European Whites and the European “Indians.”Stealing and then dividing up somebody else’s land, which is what
the “treaties” did, is uncouth and shows that the Europeans have bad manners,
if they have any manners at all.
On February 8, why weren’t you Indians celebrating?Last Monday was the big day—where were you Chippewas?On February 8, 1887, the Dawes General
Allotment Act was passed by Congress.Chip-away Halfbreed Scrip was issued under almost all of the Chippewa
Treaties.A generation later, many of
the people who got Halfbreed Scrip (180 Acres) got “allotments,” along with
their children and grand-children.Because of their genocide, the United States “Indian Agents” were
running out of Aboriginal Indigenous People, who they deliberately
mis-identified as “Indians,” for the purposes of their parasitic social
engineering.Under the Dawes General
Allotment Act, countless numbers formerly White people were turned into
“Chippewa Indians,” and used to alienate Anishinabe Ojibway land through the
“allotment” scam.The genealogical
records show that many of these “Indian Allottees” were White or Mulatto people
prior to 1886.
The United States Indian Office tried to “legitimize” their Instant Indians by
giving them names stolen from Anishinabe Ojibway people who were killed in the
genocide.The Indian Agents also gave
their New Indians Chippewa Creole names, like Wah-bish-ku-kush and Gi-chi-e-quay-zaince.It’s obvious that the U.S. Government
planned on exterminating all of the Anishinabe Ojibway.In their racism and arrogance, they never
once thought that any Aboriginal Indigenous people would survive, much less
understand Crooked English as well as their own language, and would be
scrutinizing the U.S. “Indian” records.
I looked through all of the Red Lake Halfbreed Scrip for my great-grandfather
and my grandfather.These Anishinabe
Ojibway men, whose land was being “given away” by the United States Government,
did not get any “Scrip.”They also did
not get allotments.My grandfathers
were Aboriginal Indigenous People of the Anishinabe Ojibway Nation.My grandfather’s grandfathers have been here
for a hundred millennia.It is
Anishinabe Ojibway land which the “Treaties,” the “Halfbreed Scrip,” the
“Allotments,” the “Indian Claims Commission,” and now the “Agreements” are
trying to steal using the White man’s Chip-away Indians, who have the same
values as their Indo-European fathers.
The public ruckus over fishing is a smokescreen to distract people from the
real issues of the “Treaties.”The
“Agreement” with the State of Minnesota is a vicious document.With one stroke of the pen, they are going
to abrogate the Treaties, and “terminate” the “Indians.”They’ve been threatening the Chip-away
Indians with “one stroke of the pen” for at least two generations, but what the
White man is going to use is “White Out.”The “Treaties” do not affect Aboriginal Indigenous People; as far as we
the Anishinabe Ojibway are concerned the “Treaties” are fraudulent and
irrelevant.We, the Anishinabe Ojibway
have a right to exist.HONORING THURGOOD MARSHALL:On
January 24, 1993, a great man went to the next world.In Thurgood Marshall’s eulogy, his colleague Justice Renquist
quoted the inscription on the Supreme Court Building, “EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER
LAW.”However, Thurgood Marshall has
explicitly said, “We are Not Free,” because the United States operates under
racist European Law.All the United
States guarantees their citizens is the elusive “pursuit of [the illusion of]
happiness,” and “The American Dream,” which, people should have noticed by now,
isn’t real.The United Nations’ World
Court also operates under ethnocentric European Law, and tries to maintain
“Peace” through violence and force.As
long as “International Law” operates only from a narrow European perspective
and world-view, there will not be harmony, justice, equality, nor freedom in
the world.Western European
$ivilization’s track records prove it.POLITIKING IN THE LOBBY:There
is a story going around that scientists are yielding to the demands of the
Animal Rights movement.Instead of
using laboratory rats, they are now using Lobbyists.There are certain things rats won’t do.Also, the United States Congress is ignoring a terrific source of
revenue.Instead of trying to bleed Joe
Sixpack dry and put even more taxes on minimum-wage slave laborers, they should
put a sin-tax on the Lobbyists, and make them pay their fair share.
Exploiting other people is an inherent part of Capitalism and the
Nation-State.If you don’t believe me,
all you have to do is take your head out of the sand, and look around.Whose land are you on, you immigrant
foreigners?Making Zoe Baird a
scapegoat is unfair—she was just following Capitalist traditions, and she had
nothing to do with creating the policies which entrapped her.Hiring “illegal aliens” as domestic servants
is a fringe benefit of the élite. So-called “aliens” are preferable to U.S. Citizens—because they
don’t speak English, and so they cannot go to the Tabloids and sell gossip
about what’s going on in their employer’s household.Also, because they are considered “illegal,” their behavior is
rigidly controlled by the threat of deportation hanging over them.The U.S. Immigration knows that—they are the
foreigners who let the “aliens” in.
Now, one of the main concerns in Washington is paying Social Insecurity Taxes
on household help.Are they going to
issue Social Insecurity numbers to “illegal aliens,” and then deport them?The question is, if they are deported, who
gets to keep the money that was paid “for their retirement?”It looks like there’s a good scam and
cover-up going on here (ho-hum—business as usual).MILITARY PROTOCOL:During his
campaign, candidate Clinton was called a “Draft Dodger” by the rear-echelon
heros who make up “war stories” with their elbows on a bar.President Clinton is now your
Commander-in-Chief, and with due respect and admiration, I take off my grey
(neither black nor white) hat.

Nation: According to Sunday’s Minneapolis Star Tribune, “the Clinton

American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: According to Sunday’s Minneapolis Star Tribune, “the Clinton
administration has discovered India,” and “the [real] Indians are miffed,”
because they don’t know whether Clinton is bringing the White man’s Manifest
Destiny, or whether he’s touting Western European Democracy.Either way, the Indians lose.The Clinton administration recently
appointed an Indian ambassador, so presumably they’re getting ready from some
Indian Treaties.We all know what that
means.
The Indian fakirs’ political opinions on these Indian fakirs’ affairs have not
been heard in the outside world, unlike the opinions of the Indian fakers in
Washington, D.C.The voices of these
latter, mythological, Indians, are amplified and repeated, so that it seems to
the world that the Indians are alive and well in the U.S.A., and nobody notices
what’s happening to the Aboriginal Indigenous people.
The Minneapolis Tribune also commented, in their “World and National News”
summary, on the old, worn-out issue of Indian land cessions giving Indians the
“right to an education.”The focus this
time is Head Start: that every Indian should have the inalienable right to be
taken away from their family as a very young child, again, and placed in an
institutional setting like Head Start, where the State can teach them how to be
a real B.I.A. certified Indian, regardless of family income, religious
preference, or national origin.The
anonymous writer parroted the tired, trite phrase, “tribes traded land for
education,” without bothering to think about who traded whose land to whom, and
exactly what is meant by “education.”If Western European civilization is that great, why does the educational
system have take near-infants away from their families and brainwash them into
being Indians?SWEETER NEWS:
The sap is rising in the maple trees.In harmony with the rest of Grandmother Earth, everything is starting to
wake up from the Winter’s big sleep.The crows are back and making a racket; and there are big clouds of
steam coming out of the sugarbush.Making maple sugar is a lot of hard work, but it’s worth it.The sugarbush is connected and in harmony
with Grandmother Earth, and maple sugar is a Traditional Ahnishinahbæótjibway
food which is healthy, and in balance.EASTER DINNER:
The White man’s rites of Spring include Easter dinner.I was going to have Easter Bunny and
dumplings, but there were no rabbits.The White Indian loggers cut down the woods, and then the crazy White
man sprayed the ditches and powerline right-of-ways with Agent Orange and
D.D.T., and the only Easter Bunny I’ve seen this year has been in the Sunday
Comics.I try to be tolerant of other
peoples’ traditions, so we had an Easter dinner anyway.We got a ham, and then to honor Passover, we
got some Matzo bread, and had ham sandwiches on Matzo, with deviled Easter eggs
on the side.I figured I might as well
try to be culturally tolerant, rather than discriminating among competing
White-man traditions.I went and looked
for an Easter-bunny tree, but they’d already been logged out.PRAIRIE ISLAND:
The debate over expanded high-level nuclear waste storage at Prairie Island is
approaching meltdown.Lobbyists on both
sides are diverting the debate away from the critical issues.The White man’s mis-understanding of
relationship to the land is that a few greedy leaders can ruin an ecosystem for
what amounts to eternity, make money, and then walk away to another new
frontier.Their language is
disconnected from nature, they do not know what is real and what is not real,
and they apparently have not gotten it through their thick heads that there is
no place else on this Earth to go.If
the Mississippi Valley is contaminated with high level radiation, it can not be
fixed.There are no more new frontiers.The Circle has come around, and even the
White man will not be able to run away from the consequences of his abuse of
this land.
Nuclear power—“Atoms for Peace”—is about the White Man’s guilty Burden of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki (and Bikini and Eniwetok and a lot of other places), and
it is about the ultimate in greedy centralized control and mindless worship of
the abstract God of Technology.There
are alternative energy sources, and even if there weren’t, what possible use of
electricity, what conceivable job, is worth a twenty-thousand year legacy of
cancer, birth defects, AIDS-like radiation sickness, mutant new diseases, and
devastation of the ecosystem?The White
man tells those he tries to exploit, “be civilized like us.”You cannot keep raping Grandmother Earth.INDIAN HOUSING:
One political wag asked me about the Housing Authority at the Red Lake Tribal
Council.They wanted to know about what
happened to the birch veneer, and some missing French Doors.Rumor is they were part of a sweetheart
contract with kickbacks.The person who
told me the story was hard-of-hearing, and thought they had lost some French
Moors.I don’t know why anybody thought
I would know where French Doors (or French Moors) go to when they’re missing—I
stay as far away from Frenchmen pretending to be Indians as I can.Anyway, they came and asked me to solve
their problems for them.I told them to
go to the White man in charge of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, because he’s the
one who created Indians.They didn’t like
that idea, so I suggested they ask Chairman-for-life Roger Jourdain, or his sidekick
Butch Brun; they know all about those French immigrant things that got lost.

Nation: According to the news, the United States Government is colluding with

apartheid structure of Indian Tribal Courts ... Ojibwe News.
Abstract: According to the news, the United States Government is colluding with
the State of Minnesota to restructure, re-entrench and re-organize the
apartheid structure of Indian Tribal Courts, after operating these kangaroo
courts without any legal basis other than unilateral bureaucratic degree for
more than a hundred years.These
Western European foreign governments are currently re-defining their
Constitution, violating their own White citizens’ civil rights, and destroying
the lives of the children they use as bait.If they want to justify the racist apartheid structure, a separate (and
unequal) federally-established court with jurisdiction only over U.S. citizens
with fractional non-White ancestry (these people are called “Wanna-Be’s”), why
don’t they get a Constitutional amendment legalizing discrimination by degrees
of Aryan “racial purity,” which is what Indian blood quantum is really
about.I suppose that the reason that
they aren’t worried about violating the Bill of Rights with their Indian Courts,
is because the U.S. Constitution has racism written into it, and was intended
from the first draft, to create a government which favored the merchant
W.A.S.P.s who wrote it.The kind ofviolent hierarchial thinking embodied by the
U.S. Constitution has no place on this Continent.
The agenda hidden in the crooked English of the recent Minnesota Court of
Appeals decision, C1-93-1352, in Re the Matter of the Custody of K.K.S., and
the present litigation over the adoption of children categorized as “Indians”
by Eugene and Carol Campbell, is trying to abrogate Anishinabe Ojibway
Sovereignty and Natural Rights, and create ethnic conflict like that in Bosnia,
between the Indians and the Whites.Did
the judges who ruled on these cases realize that the “Tribal Code” defines
“Indians” as non-persons, and makes no provisions for the civil rights
guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution for other U.S. Citizens?The worn-out trick is using “trust Indians”
as the means of accomplishing their dirty deeds.Both the Indians and the Whites have yet to answer for the
violations of the International Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of
Genocide, with regard to the Anishinabe Ojibway children—over whom neither the
United States, the States, nor the Indians have any jurisdiction.I and my family, personally, have been
physically and psychologically injured by the genocide and human rights
violations committed by the foreign Western European Governments and the
Europeans who are posing as Chippewa Indians.None of the Europeans’ violence belongs on this Continent, and I have a
moral obligation to speak out against the on-going genocide of the Anishinabe
Ojibway of the Bear Dodem.What the
Europeans do to each other in Europe it their own business, but here, they are
on my land.Saying that the “Indian
sovereignty” delegated by European-law U.S. statute to the U.S. Department of
the Interior is somehow connected with the ancient Anishinabe Nation is a lie.Abusing anybody’s children with these legal
fictions is a personal insult.The
kinds of conditions which require that children be removed from their families
were brought here by the Europeans—now they want to write laws which only
entrench the underlying problems, and then blame me for the U.S. Government
violating their citizens’ rights.“Indians” have been getting blamed for the White man’s atrocities since
the days of the Boston Tea Party and the Cavalry, with the insinuation that the
Aboriginal Indigenous People are “guilty,” when we continue to have nothing to
do with it.CROOKED ENGLISH TERMINOLOGY:Last week at Reno, the National Congress of American Indians resolved to
ask The Buck Stops Here, a.k.a. the Honorable Attorney General Janet Reno, “to
investigate possible violations of federal law in cases where public money is
spent to support [organizations] that use offensive names and mascots.”The target was the Washington Redskins, who
play in a stadium built on supposedly “federal land” and rented by a big-money
sports corporation for a dollar a year.Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell, who is patrilineally Scottish, calls
the name Redskins offensive, and is quoted as saying, “A slur is determined by
those who are being called the name, not those calling it.”Senator Campbell apparently does not object
to being called an “Indian,” because he is not an Aboriginal Indigenous
Person.A lot of the publicly visible
Indians get good money for becoming living caricatures of this racist
stereotype.The very word Indian, which
is being funded by the U.S. Congress, is a derogatory name, historically much
more damaging than “redskin.”The word
Indian is an English word, derived from Indo-European roots, and is worse than
a racist slur against the Anishinabe Ojibway—it is also a human rights
violation.While shouting to the world,
particularly China, about human rights violations and implying that the worst
that they have to worry about is fictional mascots of mass entertainment, at
the same time the Federal Government funds a large bureaucracy of institutions based
on the racist delusions of “tainted blood” and the artificial concept of
“Indians,” including the Bureau of Indian Affairs.The National Congress of American Indians was supposed to have
been organized to protect peoples’ rights and resources.I suppose that the N.C.A.I. and similar
“Indian organizations” are diverting public attention away from the serious
issues of land, water rights, environmental degradation, and genocide, because
the “Indian leaders” know that they are not the Aboriginal Indigenous People
who own the land, water, and resources, and who are the most deeply affected by
the genocide.These “Indian leaders” do
not want to deal with their own assumed identity, nor endanger their
well-paying status as token Indians.WHITE AND INDIAN LA-LA LAND: A lot of Wanna-Be’s apparently don’t mind
being called “Indians,” because even this racist insult is better than being
categorized by their blood brothers as “low-class White trash with tainted
blood,” which is how the World Leaders in the allegedly egalitarian democracy
of the U.S.A. consider the Metis people who were among the first Europeans on
this continent, and without whom the more recent European immigrants would not
have been able to steal this land.The
White man and the Wanna-be Indians keep saying that this is “Indian Country”
and “Indian land,” when they know perfectly well that the Indians never owned
any land.The White man is the biggest
Indian Giver around—some of the acreage in the U.S. has been “given” to the
Indians and then taken away four or five times—a local example is some of
Becker County.The Indians never owned
any land, and the land that they claim now as “Indian Land,” or “Tribal Land”
is really Aboriginal Indigenous peoples’ land, illegitimately claimed by the
White legal fiction of “Indians,” with the illegal title held by the United
States Government, under “Trust.”“United States Government” is the owner of record in the land plat
books—not the Indians—and neither one of them own the land.No matter how many times the Indians “sell”
the land to the Whites, and no matter how many times the Whites “settle” with
the Indians, the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ inalienable title to the land
has not been abrogated by this Western European hocus-pocus and their abstract
thinking.THE END OF THE TRAIL: Dr. Kevorkian has been arrested again for helping
terminally ill people commit euthanasia.All that Dr. Kevorkian is doing is being honest and explicit about an
old Western European medical practice.Instead of focussing on people who only have a few weeks of pain-filled
life left, why not take a good hard look at the quacks who peddle legal, and
illegal, means of suicide to healthy young people, including alcohol, crack
cocaine, marijuana, and other drugs.There is a much higher rate of suicide among non-White young people,
who, under Western European capitalism, are confronted with racism,
discrimination, a contaminated environment, and what looks like a very grim
future.This needs to change.WANNA-BE’S AND OTHER INDIANS:If
your land is held in trust by the White man, you’re an Indian.
If you buy land, and then give it to the “tribe” to be held in trust, you’re a
dumb Indian.
If you buy reservation license plates from the Tribal Council, and they keep
the title to your car, you’re a trusting Indian.
If you use the Chippewa word “boo-zhoo,” you’re a Metis Indian.
If you call yourself a Red Laker, and you helped bring in the 1934 I.R.A.
“trust” for Chippewa Indians, you’re an outsider-Indian.
If your two-story house is owned by the bank and the Red Lake Housing
Corporation on a checkerboard trust allotment, you’re a trust Indian in deep
doo-doo.
If you’re travelling down the Red Road, and all you see are Real Estate and
“land for sale” signs, you’re a real Indian.My telephone number is (218)

Nation: After five hundred of Western European occupation, genocide, and grand
theft of the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ land and resources ... Ojibwe
News.
Abstract: After five hundred of Western European occupation, genocide, and
grand theft of the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ land and resources, the
Europeans and their Indians, who have been on welfare for five hundred years,
celebrated Columbus Day.At Red Lake,
the Chippewa Indians marked Columbus Day by celebrating the White Sovereignty
that was given to them by the United States Government.1934 I.R.A. Tribal Administrator Judy Roy
was quoted in the Bemidji Pioneer as saying that the Red Lake Indian Pow-Wow
“began last year as part of the quin-centennial celebration of Christopher
Columbus, ... and ‘our celebration of our sovereignty that we are still
here’.”From an Anishinabe Ojibway
perspective, what Ms. Roy said can be interpreted as that colonial governments
and their subject Indians are still here, celebrating five hundred years of
colonial occupation and complicity in genocide.
Also quoted was Frances Brun, who said that Red Lake was a closed Reservation,
meaning, according to the Bemidji Pioneer, that “all the land is held in
common, with no individual allotments.”Francis Brun was speaking on the basis of Western European Indian
policy, and what the U.S. Government calls “Indian law.”These Indians that Brun was talking about,
have European patrilines, and are thus subject to imported Roman Statute law,
British Common Law, and the colonial occupations called United States Law.Brun did not mention the Anishinabe Ojibway,
because he was speaking on behalf of the U.S.A. as one of their subject
Indians, and Brun does not have any Anishinabe Ojibway ancestors at all.Brun did not say, and probably does not understand,
that according to the ancient laws of the Anishinabe Ojibway Midewiwin, this
land is not held “in common,” particularly with the Chippewa Indians.This land is held jointly by the patrilineal
Dodems of the Anishinabe Ojibway—and the Indians promoted in the media have
been packed onto land which does not belong to them by the United States
Government.
The Indians celebrated their Sovereignty, which is Protestant Sovereignty,
operating under the French feudal philosophy of the subject Chippewa Indians at
Red Lake.I am not an Indian, and I do
not belong to the Chippewa Tribal structure created by the United States
Government.The B.I.A. listed me on
their “Chippewa Indian Rolls” without my knowledge or consent, and I sent my
resignation as a Chippewa Indian to then-Chief Justice Thurgood Marshall of the
U.S. Supreme Court, in respect of the procedure described in the U.S.
Constitution for one Sovereign dealing with another.Justice Marshall accepted my resignation, and these papers are
now in the Library of Congress.I
explained to Thurgood Marshall about the dishonest identity of “Indian,” and
that I have my own Aboriginal Indigenous identity.I am a Sovereign Anishinabe Ojibway on my own land, and British
Indian common law, United States law, and the Chippewa Indian Tribal Code do
not have jurisdiction over the Sovereigns of the Anishinabe Ojibway
Nation.We are on our own land, and
have been here for millennia, long before the White man, the Pillager Indians,
the French Métis, and the Chippewa Indians got here.We, the Anishinabe Ojibway have a right to continue existing on
our own land, without the wanna-be Chippewa Indians trying to steal our
identity and our traditions, abetting the Whites in trying to steal our land
and resources, and covering up the genocide.
To you, Brun, I challenge you, as you try to use and abuse my Aboriginal
Indigenous Sovereignty to get out of paying taxes on money you made plundering
my resources and destroying my forests.Try to kick me off of my land, which has belonged to the Anishinabe
Ojibway, including my family and my Dodem, for more than the last hundred
thousand years—we’ll see who leaves.Why don’t you Chippewa Indians practice the Protestant Ethic, and go to
work, instead of spinning your wheels trying to live out all of the
projections, labels, and stereotypes that the White man created for his subject
Indians?One moment, the United States
Government tells you that you have Sovereignty, and then out of the other side
of their mouths, they tell you that with “one stroke of the pen, we can
terminate you.”TRUMPING THE INDIANS:According to Saturday’s Minneapolis
Star Tribune, “Casino mogul Donald Trump” testified on Indian gaming regulations
to the Natural Resources Committee of the House of Representatives.Trump is quoted as saying that many Indians
who want to operate casinos “don’t look like Indians to me, and they don’t look
like Indians to Indians.”You’re right,
Don—the Aboriginal Indigenous people of this Continent did not have curly hair,
blue eyes, nor the other Moorish and European features that characterize most
Federally Recognized Indians.The U.S.
Government is using some inconsistent logic that has nothing to do with the
Anishinabe Ojibway and other Aboriginal Indigenous People.“Indian Blood Quantum” is irrelevant—both to
whether or not a person is an Aboriginal Indigenous person, and the way that
the United States has calculated it, it has nothing to do with whether or not a
person who claims to be an “Indian” has any Aboriginal Indigenous
ancestry.The U.S. is hurting because
of past genocide, desperately trying to re-create the Aboriginal Indigenous
People that they destroyed.Re-defining
1/32 as 1/4, and then saying “this person is an Indian because their
great-great-great grandmother was an ‘Indian princess’” [she was probably one
of the so-called King’s Daughters involuntarily exported from France to
Montreal] makes as much sense as would re-defining an African-American as
“Lily-White” because they have 1/32 White blood.Maybe because Math is an abstraction, this can be done.GRAND LAND THEFT:
The following is an excerpt from the chapter on “Language” in my upcoming book,
We Have a Right to Exist.The
publisher revised the printing schedule, and it will now be coming out in
January of 1994:
Chief Joseph did not understand Western European abstract thinking in detail;
Aboriginal Indigenous People usually described the language generated by it as
“forked-tongue speaking.”Because he
could not speak English, he did not know how to defend himself against the
abstract Indians and the abstract laws which were used to steal his land.The United States Government gave Chief
Joseph four abstract, artificial identities: Chief, Nez Perce, Joseph, and
Indian, in order to steal his land.(The U.S. wanted to make absolutely certain they clinched the deal they
had stacked in their own favor, so they overdid it with the fake identities.I haven’t figured out yet, why they changed
the names of a lot of Aboriginal Indigenous people, as well as many of their
White Indian Chiefs, into Joseph.)Neither the Europeans nor the Euro-Americans have clear title nor
eminent domain to any of the land on this Continent.Western Europeans can write all the Title Abstracts that they
want, but they can’t change reality.This is the way Chief Joseph was interpreted as describing what
happened—I don’t know what was lost in translation:
Suppose a white man should come to me and say, ‘Joseph, I like your horses, and
I want to buy them.’I say to him, ‘No,
my horses suit me, and I will not sell them.’Then, he goes to my neighbor, and says to him, ‘Joseph has some
horses.I want to buy them, but he
refuses to sell.’My neighbor answers, ‘Pay
me the money, and I will sell you Joseph’s horses.’The white man returns to me and says, ‘Joseph, I have bought your
horses, and you must let me have them.’If our lands were sold to the government, this is the way they were
bought.
The “neighbor” that Chief Joseph describes as selling things which do not
belong to him, was not an Aboriginal Indigenous person.Neither Joseph, nor any other Aboriginal
Indigenous person, can sell land, because of the Autochthonous religious and
philosophies of this Continent.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

Treaty-making era.I said to myself,
“this agreement sounds familiar.”The
faces have changed, and times have changed, but the Euro-American paradigm of relationships
with Indians is the same as it was a hundred and fifty years ago.The moral obligation of Manifest Destiny is
still there—the White invaders are still acting as though they have a God-given
right, and also a duty to steal from Aboriginal Indigenous people, using
Indians, which is an European perspective.The Indian Agents like Barlow, and the Indian Traders, have always
gotten a hefty commission, although in the late twentieth century there isn’t
more land to steal and give away, so some of the payola was in vouchers.
The management agreements, which have been informally called “compacts,” gives
Gaming World International 70% of the Shooting Star Casino’s take.30% goes to the “Tribe.”(Under the definitions used by the B.I.A. to
describe 1934 I.R.A. Indian Governments, an “Indian Tribe” consists of the
three executive officers of the Tribal Council, so Darrell “Chip” Wadena is the
“White Earth Tribe,” and Indians remain P.O.W.’s without any legal
rights.)Gaming compacts are just a bad
re-run of the broken treaties: the only “Indians” who benefit are the Chiefs
that the U.S. Government created, just like at the Treaties.The scam artists are still at it, and the
band plays on, and on.TRAIL OF STUMPS:
The Sovereign Red Lake 1934 I.R.A. elections are starting to heat up, and
Indians are coming out of the brush (which is all that’s left of the woods now)
and throwing their hats into the ring.In the March issue of the Minneapolis Circle, there is an ad promoting
laminated plastic photo I.D. cards for all of their Indians.This is political ploy to get all of the
absentee voters registered to vote—this is one of very few services that the
I.R.A. Tribal Council offers to people who live off of the Reservation (who the
in-group call “outsiders”).Chairman-for-life Roger Jourdain passed a resolution so that people
living off the reservation—“outsiders”—couldn’t run in the I.R.A. Tribal
Elections.They want to use your
absentee ballots to put who they want in office, but if you need some kind of assistance
from the Red Lake Tribal Council, well, the urban people I’ve talked to have
been told to “Go to Hell” by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and their Tribal
Councils.Now, get this: the Photo
I.D.’s will be issued at the Minneapolis Indian Center on the afternoon of All
Fool’s Day.TUBERCULOSIS:
The Tuesday, March 15, Minneapolis Star Tribune, had a front-page article with
a headline announcing that “Minnesotans find evidence” that Europeans did not
bring tuberculosis to these continents.At the very end of the article, after the jump to an inside page, the
“News Services” who wrote this anonymous front-page article admit that “there
is a risk that the specimens ... were contaminated by TB bacteria in the
laboratory.”This questionable science
is being heavily promoted because the Euro-Americans are trying to ease their
guilt about the genocide they have committed here, in a process of historical
revision.If tuberculosis had been a
disease of Aboriginal Indigenous people here, we would have some immunity to
this imported disease.The
Euro-Americans knew that we did not have any tolerance to their diseases, and
openly used their diseases as a means of genocide.As the good Christian policy-makers discussed at the 1890 Lake
Mohonk Conference, 1890 (from a paper, “The Indian Health Question,” by Dr.
Martha M. Waldron).These Friends of
the Indians were trying to change the identity of the Aboriginal Indigenous
people into Indians, and slandered us by stereotyping us as “full-blood
Indians.”
“The full-blood Indians [sic] have less endurance than the half or
mixed-bloods; and when attacked by tuberculosis or any form of scrofula, they
perish more quickly.... The
well-attested fact that consumption is the scourge of the Indian [sic]
in the climate of Dakota, where pulmonary diseases among whites are almost
unknown, points conclusively to the fact that there has been and is that, in
the peculiar conditions of Indian [sic] life, which engenders the
disease. ... The more thoroughly the
contagious nature of tuberculosis is established, the more terrible the present
condition of the Indian appears.It is
stated on good authority that tuberculous cattle are constantly sold to and
consumed by the Indians [sic].Their only hope is in a common knowledge of every-day affairs, which
shall protect them from their enemy, the unscrupulous white man ...”
I lost both of my parents to the White man’s disease of tuberculosis and my
great-grandfather (and most of the rest of my relatives) in the many smallpox
epidemics which were planted by the United States Government at Red Lake.These diseases were intentionally brought
into Aboriginal Indigenous communities as a part of Western European
Civilization’s Divine Mandate of genocide.

Nation: Al Gore, the environmentalist Vice President, is so serious about the environment

Abstract: Al Gore, the environmentalist Vice President, is so serious about the
environment that when he takes a walk in the woods he’s thinking about the
ecology and forgets to pay attention to where he’s going.He does not have an Aboriginal Indigenous
person’s connection to the land; the woods may be beautiful to him, but they
are also alien.He learned about the
forests from his ancestors, immigrants from an Europe without forests or
lakes—and so he gets lost in the woods, along with his S.S. bodyguards, who
don’t know the way back to their European “civilization” either.
Recreational fishing is an imported European colonial leisure activity, like
the English ritual slaughter of the predators of imported vermin (“Fox
Hunting”).It is increasingly defined
in terms of the values of the British upper class.People who fish for food are caught up in the mess created by the
catch-and-release fishermen, stuck with a limit of one fish per day.The U.S. Government wants to terminate the
“Indians” and abrogate the Treaties, because there are no more resources.The social welfare system for immigrant
elite has finally plundered the whole continent, and even though “Indians” are
the Europeans’ invented proxy for the Aboriginal Indigenous people, they serve
as a reminder to guilty consciences of what was once here.Hunting and fishing has always been an
inherent part of the Anishinabe Ojibway culture, and is an entirely different
thing than the Europeans’ idea of “hunting and fishing.”Fish and game are a part of our
permacultural ecosystem, and a traditional part of our food supply.Hunting and fishing for subsistence are not
in the European culture, and under immigrant European management, it’s all been
destroyed.The Europeans do not
understand the harmony and the balance of Grandmother Earth, who gives us all
life.It’s time that you come to terms
with reality.
In Europe, there is a forest they call the “Black Forest,” which is not a forest,
it’s a tree farm.It’s all been
planted.I’ve walked through the Black
Forest, and I couldn’t see any resemblance to the intact Anishinabe Ojibway
forests I knew as a child.I remember
the soft carpet of pine needles, the harmony.The ecosystem here has been plundered, and the European immigrants are
trying to fool people by saying they “have planted trees.”Those planted trees are not the same as the
natural ecosystem. They are out of balance, disharmonious, barren
window-dressing.When you walk though a
tree farm, it’s like walking through a plowed field, going through rows of
trees and ditches in between.From an
Aboriginal Indigenous point of view, it’s really ugly.Nobody can get lost in a tree farm—all you
have to do is follow the ditches.
When the fishermen complain about no fish, they should also complain about the
trees being cut down.Everything is
connected.The birds depend on the
trees, the fish depend on the trees—and so do you.You are cutting your own throat when you cut the trees down.Professional Foresters can have all the
Advanced Degrees they want, and they are still out of touch with the land and
the life on it.They don’t know what’s
happening with the delicately inter-related ecosystem.Respecting the harmony of Grandmother Earth
is a part of the non-violent Anishinabe Ojibway religion and philosophy.In the Europeans’ arrogance, he cut down
everything, and tried to “manage” the living systems of this Continent with
abstract thinking, lifeless linear mis-understanding and greed.Their greed far outweighs their common
sense.The United States forest
service’s inventory of Potemkin forests, which flourished “on paper” for twenty
years before people figured out that there weren’t really any trees there, is a
good example of abstract thinking and capitalist greed.Greed is a dangerous mental illness which
must be addressed in the proposed National Health Care system.HEALTH CARE:If Hillary Rodham
Clinton is going to talk about health, she also needs to talk about the air,
the water, the other living beings that are part of the web of life.It’s all connected, and if you want to have
healthy people, you have to have a healthy ecosystem.A noxious brown cloud has been hanging over the cities of the
United States for the last forty years.When people in Los Angeles complained about the smog in the 1950’s (when
the freeway system was in the planning stages and there was an intact mass
transit system), the public was told that the smog “won’t hurt you, it’s no
worse than two packs of cigarettes a day.”They have warning labels on cigarettes now.They need to put warning labels on the roads going into the
cities, “Surgeon General’s Warning: Breathing this Air is Hazardous To Your
Health, Causes Cancer, Respiratory Disease, and Other Problems.”
Smog is a symptom of the mental illness of runaway greed.When the Europeans first applied the “Divine
Mandate” of Manifest Destiny on this Continent, they stole the Aboriginal
Indigenous Nations’ land and resources to subsidize the imported welfare system
for the European upper class (which they called the Industrial
Revolution).At that time, our
relatively intact ecosystem absorbed the worst of the consequences of their
criminal greed.The immigrants
plundered our resources over several generations, and their descendants are
still stealing from the Aboriginal Indigenous People, they are still here
wrecking our Continent and their immigrant elite are still on welfare.The Lily-White-Liberals are still
beneficiaries of the grand Land Theft and the genocide.I’ve got news for you immigrant
Europeans.You have finally arrived,
and you’d better start dealing with reality.Linear abstract thinking is pure hogwash, no matter how many of the
“experts” of Western European Civilization certify it.You can’t run from away from the truth
forever.
If the Clinton Administration is planning on having any form of “socialized
medicine,” I suggest that they evaluate and take a lesson from the U.S.
socialized medicine that they already have, for example the Indian Health
Service.Better yet, go get a second
opinion—maybe you should have several reservations about it.MORE EUROPEAN EPIDEMICS:According to the newspapers, the people who are concerned about violence
are finally being heard.Violence is
really in epidemic stages.Violence and
the police are caught in a positive feedback loop—the more police they hire,
the more violence there is.Many of the
people who are supposed to be “fighting crime” are getting rich off of somebody
else’s suffering, and the violent crime rates keep going up.When you see “crimefighters” without any
other source of income driving B.M.W.’s and wearing Florscheim shoes, you know
that society is way out of balance and out of harmony.Hiring policemen, judges and lawyers,
building more jails, doesn’t solve the problem of crime, although it’s an
economic system that puts bread and butter on the tables of law enforcement
officers and the legislature.Crime is
a part of the Western European economic system, and if the problems which
generate crime were solved, then a lot of the elite would be without jobs.Violence and crime exploit non-W.A.S.P.s who
don’t speak fluent English, and provides barriers which protect the status and
privileges of the elite.The Europeans
who call themselves “Americans” need to look at the social baggage their
ancestors brought from Europe—the imported European language, values and
religion.That’s where the problem is
embedded in the immigrant culture, and that’s the only place where it can be
addressed effectively.
Violence and racism are necessary to maintain the social class system the way
that it presently exists in the United States.When grassroots movements seriously addressed racism, the establishment
re-defined the issue on their terms, and centralized the “solutions.”The same thing is happening now with the
issues of violence and crime.Violence
is being re-defined in terms of unreal abstract thinking.For example, children’s television cartoons
are being excluded from the proposed “warning label” system proposed by the
media.Hitting and kicking people,
maiming them and then laughing, is not funny—it’s an insidious brainwashing of
the world’s children.Violence and
crime presently kill more people than AIDS, and take away more years of life
expectancy than any other illness.The
unending waves of violence from the media, which makes big money with “cheap
thrills,” is like a vaccine, desensitizing people to an appalling reality.There need to be warning labels on the news and
on children’s’ programs.The
self-righteous right-wing monopolizers of the First Amendment need to take a
hard, honest look at themselves (if they can).My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

Nation: Amendments to the Indian Freedom of Religion Act are currently under
consideration by the United States Senate Select Committee on Indian Affairs
... Native American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: Amendments to the Indian Freedom of Religion Act are currently under
consideration by the United States Senate Select Committee on Indian Affairs,
in the U.S. Legislative Branch.In the
Executive Branch, the Bureau of Indian Affairs is putting a lot of lobbying
pressure into passing this unique piece of legislation in a form under which
protection of the practice of Indian Religion will be granted only to Federally
Recognized Indians.So-called “Indian
Religion” is an Indo-European hierarchical cult based on Christianity.Using apartheid legislation (euphemistically
referred to as “protection”) to abrogate Constitutional provisions of Civil
Rights for Indians, and limiting the practice of so-called “Indian Religion” to
Federally-defined “Indians,” entrenches the U.S.’ control over the Indians they
created, and draws public attention away from the Aboriginal Indigenous people
and religions—over whom the U.S.A. has absolutely no defensible jurisdiction.
Real Chippewa Indians are always pestering me, either asking me some irrelevant
detail about how to be an Indian, or telling me how to be a proper, Real
Indian.I am Ahnishinahbæótjibway.I am not an Indian.I don’t care about how to be an Indian, and
I don’t want to be insulted by being mis-categorized as an Indian.(If Wanna-Be Indians have questions about
how to be a Real, Federally Recognized Indian, go ask the White men who created
the Indians, and who are the self-appointed definers of Indians—and, it’s a
venerable American political tradition, the God-given right of the W.A.S.P.’s
to make sport of such hapless Indians.)So-called “Indians,” and the Ahnishinahbæótjibway, are
two entirely different groups of people.
Indians are, by their acceptance of definition as “Indians,” citizens of the
United States, so the question arises as to why the ordinary Constitutional
guarantees purporting “freedom of religion” to all U.S. citizens do not provide
freedom of religion for Indians.Even
the often-cited issue of sacramental use of peyote by Indian subject people has
legal precedent in the White Christian mainstream.During Prohibition, the U.S. Constitution banned “beverage”
alcohol.There was no religious-use
exception made in the 18th Amendment.This was circumvented by tacit in-house agreement: sacramental wine was
produced by licensed wineries, for sale to approved religions.Why not license “Indian Medicine Men” and
other Indo-European Shamans, under this precedent?(The Branch Davidians were licensed Christians.)That established, presumably legal,
precedent is not being used, means that the issue is something other than the
surface explanation.Could it be that,
under the joint provisions of the U.S. Declaration of Independence and the U.S.
Constitution, “Indians” are categorized by the founding documents of the United
States Government as P.O.W.’s, occupied peoples defined as enemies of the
State, inherently without rights or representation? ... and, that these subject
Indo-European peoples, the Indians, are in complicity with the White
Euro-Americans in masking the centuries of genocide of the Aboriginal
Indigenous people.
The vast majority of the people who are Federally Recognized as “Indians” by
the United States Government, have European patrilines (and many have nearly
pure Indo-European and African ancestry).Most of the Federally Recognized Indians have little or no connection to
the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples of this Continent (which is why Gerald Torres,
counsel to the U.S. Attorney General’s Office, claims that Indians are not
“classified as a racial group.”)Almost
all Indians are European subject peoples.As I was growing up in the Boarding Schools, we were told quite forcibly
that “Indians are the Vanishing Americans” and that “Indians must
assimilate.”It’s not clear what the
White man wants his Indians to assimilate into, and the U.S. Congress keeps
legislating roadblocks to keep the “tainted-blood” Indians out of the White
mainstream.The present U.S. Indian
policy entrenches an apartheid system, socially engineering pseudo-ethnic
“minorities” out of ordinary White Trash and a few Métis.Although the United States Supreme Court
determined, nearly forty years ago, that “separate but equal” was unconstitutional
for Euro-African Americans who are not categorized as Indians, the U.S. is
continuing to elaborate their institutional structure of “separate and less
than equal” for those people classified as Federally Recognized Indians.
If the U.S. Indian policy was really assimilation, why would Indians need: a
separate and inferior Civil Rights Bill (which does not provide actual civil
rights); a separate health-care system which promotes diabetes and creates the
lowest life-expectancy in the United States; and a separate governmental system
which is so corrupt it can only be described as “unique.”This medieval legacy of French fur-trade
feudalism is entrenched by U.S. Government funding of what the U.S. Congress
privately calls “Federal Instrumentalities,” labelled in NewSpeak as “Indian
Self-Determination.”Why has the United
States created a White puppet government, patterned after the worst of the
European-style governments, and claimed that the White Indians who they have
empowered in this “Indian Tribal Government” are “Sovereign,” meaning “separate
under apartheid.”Indians are not
Aboriginal Indigenous People, and Indians have no concept and no inkling of
what We the People, our Dodem values and our traditional Midé
religious philosophy, are about.The
Euro-American “Indian” structures and mythologies have absolutely nothing to do
with the Ahnishinahbæótjibway.
In researching this column, I telephoned every major Washington agency involved
in the amendments to the Indian Freedom of Religion Act, from the White House
to the Justice Department, trying to get some sensible explanation about the
U.S. policy reflected in this legislation.There are not any “Honest Injuns” in Washington, D.C., although I was
told some Lily-White lies.The most enlightening
response I heard was “no comment.”Since the dedicated public servants I talked to did not want to be
quoted (and some refused to tell me their names), something must be even more
rotten than usual in D.C.

BAD, BAD PRESS:
The Minneapolis Star Tribune has deleted some sports-team designations,
including “Redskins,” “Chiefs” and “Indians,” from their sports pages.They have apparently decided that these
terms are potentially offensive, and will refrain from using them until the
politically-correct climate shifts again.If these words can no longer be printed in the paper, I don’t know
how—or if—the newspaper will report on White Indian militants’ protests of
sports mascots, or the Real Indians’ demonstrations against the use of the term
“Washington Redskins,” etc.It’s a
strange kind of abstract wishful thinking, where not writing a word can solve a
problem.The caricature “Indian
mascots” will still parade around at half-time, reflecting Western European
Civilization’s foolish racist heritage, whether or not the Star Tribune writes
about them.After all, one of the main
purposes of sporting events is to make “Big Bucks.”How are the Federally Recognized Cherokees going to get their
“Indian Bucks” for Bingo and Gambling, if they can no longer manufacture
Tomahawks for the Redskin fans?THE EIGHTH CAVALRY:
The State of Minnesota Legislative House passed a bill to ban Crazy Horse Malt
Liquor, and any other alcohol named after Indians or Wanna-Be’s.If Heileman Brewery wants to sell booze so
badly, why don’t they make a beer called Custer’s Malt Liquor?The Brewery could even build a bar, and call
it the “Little Big Horn Corral.”If
they put it across the river in Wisconsin, they could sell Crazy Horse Malt
along with Custer’s.Heileman’s could promote
a new cocktail, mixing the two Malt Liquors, and instead of having a “Happy
Hour,” they could have a “Treaty Hour.”The toast could be “as long as the grass shall grow and the rivers shall
flow—drink to broken promises,” and everybody could get “wiped out.”The last one standing gets a prize: an arrow
shirt; and the first one “out” gets a Tomahawk Chop and a one-way ticket to the
ethnically appropriate Detox.GASTRONOMIC GOURMAND:
Linguistic cleansing has not been limited to Minnesota.According to Boston syndicated columnist
Ellen Goodman, the élite arbiters of culture are seeking language purity.The French are exorcising English
impurities, and the American W.A.S.P.’s are in quest of their Germanic roots,
eliminating one French “loan-word” after another.The latest is that the White House (French) “Chef” has been
replaced by another European food-handler, who Ms. Goodman calls “Le Cook.”
Speaking of gourmet cooking, a friend of mine was telling me about his
grandson’s favorite sandwich.The recipe
goes like this: spread a layer of potato chips on a slice of bread.Then, add a slice of baloney, a second layer
of potato chips, another slice of baloney, and then a third layer of potato
chips.Finally, top it off with a slice
of bread.This is the recipe I was
given for the sandwich.When I first
heard about it, I said “yuck.”But,
curiosity got the best of me, so I bought bread, potato chips and baloney, and
made one of these renowned but unnamed sandwiches.I was hungry from working all day in the sugarbush, so I don’t
know if it just seemed like it tasted good, or is it terrible nutrition,
masquerading as a delicious sandwich?

Nation: Another hunting season has passed, so it’s fairly safe to go out in the

Abstract: Another hunting season has passed, so it’s fairly safe to go out in
the woods again.The people wearing red
have finally gone back home, and the D.N.R. are counting the piles of money
they made selling licenses to kill deer that belong to the Anishinabe
Ojibway.The textbook name for this is
“capitalism,” but it’s really socialism for the Western Europeans, using the
resources of the Aboriginal Indigenous People of this Continent.
All the guys wearing red, who are driving around with dead deer strapped to
their cars or piled in the back of their pickup trucks, are a poor role model
for young children.It isn’t too long
before another guy in a red suit will need deer to pull his sleigh, to bring
the children presents.It’s confusing:
one month the people in red are killing deer, and the next month the man in red
is driving with them, and he’s not a very good role model, either.He doesn’t have a very big vocabulary.All he seems to say is “ho, ho, ho!,” maybe
because he never gets caught for drunk driving, or even for driving while
impaired, after having a tankard too many of Holiday Cheer, or spiking his
eggnog.INDIAN SOVEREIGNTY: Minneapolis Star Tribune columnist Jim Klobuchar
wrote about “Tribal Sovereignty” and how it is being used to insulate casino
owners from liability for sexual harassment and other civil rights violations
against their employees.Such
maltreatment of employees is nothing new, but when it was organizations like
the Red Lake Indian lumber mills and the Bureau of Indian Affairs
discriminating, refusing to provide any compensation for employees who were
injured on the job, and not contributing to any retirement plan (even social
insecurity), nobody cared.Now that
officially White people are being affected by policies which have been in place
for fifty years, all of a sudden it’s an issue.
Indians are, by their White patriline and their values, already assimilated
members of the Euro-American society.The Sovereignty which is being abused by the Indian Casinos is not
Anishinabe Ojibway nor other Aboriginal Indigenous Sovereignty.The European immigrants, Indian law and
Indian Sovereignty, have no jurisdiction over Aboriginal Indigenous
Sovereignties, which belong on this Continent.The “Indian Sovereignty” under which the casinos, B.I.A. officials (who
are also White people), and other so-called Indian employers have abused their
employees for years is White Sovereignty, held specifically by the United
States Secretary of the Interior, and his boss the U.S. President.The Euro-American laws under which this
“Indian Sovereignty” belonging to the U.S. Executive Branch is generated
include United States v. Anglin & Stevenson (1944, CA10 Okla) 145 F2d, cert
den 324 US 844, 89 L ED 1405, 65 S Ct 678, among others.In this particular case, the legal interpretation
is, in part, “Where the Secretary of the Interior held funds in his custody as
guardian and trustee of the ... Indian, ... he had exclusive jurisdiction over
them in his sovereign capacity and they were not within the reach of the
judicial process unless by authorized consent ...When the Secretary of the Interior, acting within the scope of
his powers as guardian of the Indian wards, ...”Indian Sovereignty is a sham.It’s held by the Whites who created the Indian identity.
Euro-Americans Whites are supposed to be protected by the U.S. Constitution and
the Bill of Rights.But, then the U.S.
Government comes along with Indian Sovereignty, and violates their own
Constitution by taking away every vestige of Constitutional Rights for the
Whites they call “Indians,” under Indian Sovereignty.“Indian Trusteeship” and “Indian Sovereignty” can’t exist in the
same paradigm, even in Crooked English, unless Indian Sovereignty is understood
for what it really is: apartheid dictatorship, without accountability, over the
low-class White people who the U.S. Government has defined as “Indians.”I’m glad that I’m not an Indian.If employees have problems with their Indian
employers, the buck stops with President Clinton, telephone (202)
456-1414.He’s in charge of Indian
Sovereignty.The Executive Branch
co-operated with the Legislative Branch, and the U.S. Congress created the
I.R.A. Tribal Councils.If you have a
problem with the Tribal Councils, call Senator Wellstone at 1-800-642-6041.
By Act of U.S. Congress (August 27, 1954), codified as U.S. Statutes, Title 25,
Section 677w, the United States Government provides for the Termination of
Indians, even those defined by the U.S. as “full-blood” Indians.This means that, after the United States
Government terminates the Indian identity of those who they have defined as
Indian, these former Indians cannot use either the Secretary of the Interior’s
“Indian Sovereignty,” nor the Indian identity.I suppose if the Indian Police caught a person trying to say they were
an “Indian” after they’d been terminated, they’d throw them in jail (if they
weren’t already there).If they were
persistent, incorrigible Indians, and they still wanted to play Indian, they
could deport (relocate) them to India.I would gladly nominate Barlow, Roger Jourdain, Butch Brun, and their
councilmen, for the first boatload on the new Indian relocation program.NAFTA: Al Gore and Ross “The
Boss” Perot had a serious debate about whose family had more money and less
ethics.In the part of it I saw, they
didn’t even discuss Free Trade—the content of this policy discussion was
controlled by politician Al Gore, who was questioning the ethics of Ross
Perot’s family.Why didn’t Ross Perot
ask about the shenanigans that Al Gore’s dad, who was also a Senator,
pulled?If they were going to talk
about families, and totally disregard Free Trade, why didn’t they talk about
the families of all the people who were losing their jobs, the families of
those unemployed both on this side of the border and on the other side.Ross Perot showed a picture of a big
corporation, surrounded by shanty-towns.This photograph shows that Manifest Destiny is still alive and well,
unchanged since the days when the Hang-Around-The-Fort Indians (who had White
fathers) built their shanty-towns of “teepees” around U.S. Forts in order to be
near their Great White Father.Al Gore
responded by saying that Free Trade was going to raise the standard of living
of the people in these shanty-towns.They’re going to move them up a notch on the socio-economic scale,
Upward Bound, and guess what, they’re going to move them into a ghetto.
Anything that the Europeans call “Free,” you can be sure that the hidden costs
are high.Nothing is free, and in my
experience, “Free” is a dirty four-letter word.
If NAFTA is going to improve the standard of living in Mexico, what is going to
happen to the people on this side of the border, who have to go south for a
job?Are they going to throw the
Gringos in a Mexican jail, because they don’t have a Green Card, and the WASPs
who own the corporations aren’t paying social insecurity taxes in Mexico?What word are they going to use for the
Anglos sneaking south across the Rio Grande desperate for a low-paying job—are
they Wetbacks, or are they going to be called Greenbacks?MORE FREE TRADE:The present
argument about Hillary’s program of socialized medicine is who is going to pay
for what.Hillary wants Sin Taxes to
pay for her program.If taxing sin is
going to pay for health care, why not focus on the real sinner: the
corporations who have polluted the water, and destroyed the environment.Tobacco is being scapegoated by the Clinton
Fundamentalists and Al Gore’s right-wingers, for a litany of diseases caused by
pollution.The health program legislation
should include an “exit fee” for corporations going South like rats leaving a
sinking ship.
During the first few months of the Clinton presidency, Senator Dole had a press
conference almost every day.The
Senator from Kansas is one of the best politicians that money can buy, and he
was vehemently protesting everything that the Clinton administration proposed,
but he’s been mum on NAFTA.I suppose
he’s on the Dole, lining his pockets with Pesos and Greenbacks, getting ready
to be the first Senator from Mexico.
One of the hidden agendas in NAFTA has to do with the Spanish-speaking people
in the United States, who are starting to outnumber the English-speaking
people.The W.A.S.P.s are hoping to buy
about a generation’s worth of time with NAFTA, hoping that they can destroy the
Spanish-speaking community in the United States.They want to make these people speak Anglo-Saxon, and bring them
under their control, and re-entrench the hierarchy with the Good Ol’ Boys on
top—they want English First.If
everybody’s native language was English, rather than having a diversity of

= (a.k.a. Francis Blake, Jr. (1993). Reflections from the Anishinabe Ojibway
Nation: Attorney General nominee Zoe Baird withdrew from the Cabinet
confirmation process last week, ...Ojibwe News.
Abstract: Attorney General nominee Zoe Baird withdrew from the Cabinet
confirmation process last week, because she did not have the support of the
Good Ol’ Boy network.Zoe Baird was a
victim of the disparity between rhetoric and reality: the point of Capitalist
Democracy, and its blood brother Communist Democracy, has always been to “make
money.”By paying her employees as
little as she could get away with (just like “everybody else”), Zoe Baird was
following the unwritten laws, “playing by the rules” of the Good Ol’ Boy élite.“Cheap labor” is the Eleventh Commandment of
St. Avarice.Zoe was targeted, not
because of her minor infractions, but because her Senatorial inquisitors felt
insecure about what they themselves have done under Capitalist money-making
values, and did not trust her to adhere to their code of “honor among thieves.”
Capitalism is always a parasitic relationship with other people: it has left
its mother country and is in other peoples’ homeland, doing what this dogma of
the élite does best: stealing, enslaving, and raising havoc with other peoples’
land.The Colonial English term for
this is “Making Money,” although what it is really doing is destroying
ecological infrastructure which is not theirs, plundering the future.The ethics of the other political appointees
are even murkier than Zoe Baird’s—but the Senate confirmed them because they
fit within the boundaries of “business as usual.”The way that Capitalism (and Socialism and Communism) have always
worked, is that if the Ol’ Boys can’t con other people out of their resources,
they set themselves up as the “legitimate government” and pass laws, or else
they use violence including going to war to steal them (and then they sign a
“peace treaty,” which is more violent yet).Capitalism is a foreign ideology on this land, one which has been
developing during thousands of years of violence and theft and wars/peace under
Indo-European dominion.
Nominee Zoe Baird was eased out of the picture using the excuse that her
husband hired “undocumented workers,” referred to in the mass media as “illegal
aliens” rather than “immigrants.”According to the newspapers, her barrister husband hired servants,
nannies and domestic workers at a licensed employment agency.Where did this employment agency get these
“illegal aliens,” and how did they get through the immigration barriers to Connecticut
(which is quite a few border crossings from Peru)?Since the European immigrants first got here, they have been
using their alien European immigration laws on this continent to entrench their
foreign European Capitalist class system.The U.S. offices of Immigration and Border Patrol have been using
various kinds of prohibition as “social engineering” for a long time.The way that the immigration laws are
presently enforced, there is a “Green Card” stigma attached to the people they
call “aliens.”(From the Anishinabe
Ojibway perspective: all you other descendants of illegal aliens, including the
Chippewas—where is your “Green Card?”)
Immigration laws promote the importation and exploitation of “illegal aliens”
at wages which are much cheaper than the “minimum” slave-labor wage.Prohibition sounds good, particularly when
applied to drugs which are intentionally used by the élite to destroy
individuals, family values and entire communities [and “make money” in the
process].What “prohibition” accomplishes
is keeping illicit drug prices high, the profits in the hands of a few selected
special interests, and wages exploitatively low.This transplanted European Capitalist/Communist scheme of
indirect slavery is one of the fundamentals of colonialism.Alcohol on Indian Reservations, opium in
China ... Indo-European history is filled with violent precedents.What the Honorable Senators say they are
“trying” to do, and what they know they are doing, are two entirely different
things.
Part of the ruckus was that Zoe Baird did not initially pay “Social Security”
for the people she was allegedly hiring illegally, although she later paid a
lump-sum “settlement.”The people that
she made the “Social Security” payoff to, should have also been sitting in the
box in the Senate Hearing chamber, because the Peruvian couple will never see a
penny of the about $2,900.00 “Social Security” which was paid under their
names, and the bureaucrat who took Zoe Baird’s check knew that.The U.S. Treasury collecting money on
illegal transactions becomes an “accessory after the fact,” just like
Iraq-gate.A former union leader was
sent to prison, convicted of stealing from the Teamster’s Pension Fund.What about the Social Insecurity Pension
Fund?
From the Anishinabe Ojibway perspective, the question of foreign Euro-Americans
hiring Peruvians, and then being criticized for their employees being “illegal
aliens,” does not address who this Peruvian couple was.The chances are very good that the Peruvian
couple that Zoe Baird hired have a lot of Aboriginal Indigenous ancestry from
these Continents.The irony is that
descendants of illegal immigrants: Senators, were questioning another
descendant of illegal immigrants: Zoe Baird, about “hiring aliens.”Neither the Anishinabe Ojibway, nor any
other Aboriginal Indigenous people, asked the immigrant Europeans, nor their
fake “Indians” nor slaves, to come here.We also did not ask you to bring your excess social garbage and your
European criminal problems to these shores.RED INK: Sunday’s Minneapolis Star Tribune reports the “budget
deficit” this year as “a record $327 billion.”In response to a phone call about this figure, one of the Star reporters
said that this was the red ink accumulated under some fiscal definition of “this
year,” and that the actual debt was “somewhere between four and five trillion
dollars.”Nobody can run a business,
nor their own personal affairs, like that.What kind of role model is the U.S. Government, when they can’t balance
their checkbook?If you or I wrote
rubber checks, “give or take a trillion dollars,” (that’s
$1,000,000,000,000.00) we’d be practically immortal in the Federal Pen.Even presumably well-educated Euro-Americans
are amazingly vague about how much their future is in hock for, and about where
their taxes are going.Under Democratic
hierarchial thinking, people are numb to their own victimization, because the
Great White Father is supposed to have promised, “I’ll take care of you, my
children.”Most people haven’t thought
through what this kind of patronizing relationship does (the Great White Father
has done nothing but steal from me, from all Anishinabe Ojibway).Most Euro-Americans don’t seem to know
what’s real, and apparently they’ve never learned how to think for themselves,
because “Father Knows Best.”Paternalism is their system.Instead of wasting time grilling Zoe Baird about “illegal aliens,” and
quibbling about how to put more Sin-taxes on Joe Sixpack so the Honorable
Senators can fund their pet projects and pay off their political hacks—why
isn’t somebody absolutely raising the roof about selling this country out from
under the [immigrant] American people?
The numbers are so big that people apparently don’t think about them very
clearly.The “mortgage” [dollars debt
per acre] on the stolen Aboriginal Indigenous peoples’ land which the U.S.
claims as “public lands,” is, right now, more than its market value.In plain English, when a person’s debts are
more than their assets, this is called “bankrupt.”I can laugh at it, because the land never belonged to the
immigrant people who call themselves the United States anyway.Neither the alien people who created the
“deficit,” nor the alien people to whom the “deficit is owed” have any claim
whatsoever on Anishinabe Ojibway, nor any other Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’
property.The Russians are on their own
land ... the Japanese are on their own land ... but you who call yourselves
“Americans” and “Canadians” are not on your own land.You have been duped.When
the really big bills start coming due, over just the next few years, you will
find out that you, and your children, and your grandchildren ... are back to
being indentured slaves of the Nation-State, and that you were never “free.”The Circle goes around.OLD WORN-OUT TAX INCENTIVES: The first thing that the politicians do
when they get elected is ask for the public checkbook.The “Good Ol’ Days,” when the main function
of the U.S. Government was to distribute stolen Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’
resource plums to selected Good Ol’ Boys, are gone.There are no more frontiers to run to, no virgin territory to
exploit anywhere in the world.You are
here, on this land, and you had better take a very careful look at where you
are going.The Good Ol’ American Boys
are living in a make-believe world, and they have to come to terms with
reality.There is no more to
steal.Maybe you immigrants will start
seeing what’s real; then you will understand your history and your culture, and
your European identity.Maybe you will
become civilized, yet.LINGUISTIC TRIVIA: Roget’s Thesaurus defines a synonym of the English
hierarchial word, “Chief” as “cock of the walk.”“Chief” is an imported European term which is not indigenous to
this land, and it is not in the Anishinabe Ojibway language.(In Black-Robe Baraga’s Chippewa-Creole
language, his 19th-century dictionary translates both “Chief” and “Government
Agent” into the same Chippewa Indian word.)

Nation: Bemidji Mayor Douglas Peterson proclaimed last Friday, May 7, to be
Arbor Day in Bemidji. ...Ojibwe
News.
Abstract: Bemidji Mayor Douglas Peterson proclaimed last Friday, May 7, to be
Arbor Day in Bemidji.According to the
Bemidji Pioneer, in his proclamation address he said “I urge all citizens to
support efforts to care for our trees and woodlands and to plant trees to
gladden the hearts and promote the well-being of present and future
generations.”(I guess the City of
Bemidji’s icon, Paul Bunyan, wasn’t thinking about the next generations.For Arbor Day, they should have taken Paul
Bunyan’s statue down, tarred and feathered him, and run Paul and his Blue Bull
out of town—and planted a tree there by the lake instead.Paul Bunyan and Arbor Day go together like
drinking and driving.)Mayor Peterson
said that whenever trees are planted, “they are a source of joy and spiritual
renewal.”The Pioneer quotes nothing
about primeval forests providing joy—and also nothing about the abundant and
beautiful ecosystem which the Anishinabe Ojibway maintained.Apparently, the only trees which the White
man sees as “beautiful” is the ones that he’s planted and “owns.”The Bemidji area economy depends, in large
part, on the continuing destruction of the ecosystem.You are just now starting to glimpse the price you will pay for
plundering and squandering the fat of this land.
A healthy forest is much more than trees, and planting trees will not restore
an ecosystem which has been demolished.They say that the Europeans “can’t see the forest for the trees.”Don’t get me wrong—I’m certainly not against
planting trees—but no matter how many trees you plant or tree farms you make,
no matter how much public pomp and circumstance, and no matter how many
scientific foresters with Ph.D.s, a tree farm has very little resemblance to
the harmonious, intricate, and balanced ecosystem of the Anishinabe
Ojibway.A tree farm will not stop your
lakes from drying up; it will not provide what forests must provide in order
for the lakes and rivers to be full of fish.The spear-and-release fisherman [that’s how the Europeans think—the D.N.R.
had to publicize a regulation prohibiting spear-and-release for the White
spearfishing season] are going to have to do more than plant a few trees (or
scapegoat “spearfishing Indians”) in order to have fish.
The ecosystem in this area is in serious trouble.The forest products companies will not—and cannot—restore what
they are looting and ransacking.A few
trees cut down, will grow back in an intact forest, but forest ecosystems, once
destroyed, are not renewable.Just one
example is what we called “fish flies.”Ask any old-timer about the clouds of fish flies, so thick they looked
like smoke, that swirled and hummed every May.I haven’t seen even one fish fly in four or five years.They may be “pesty,” but they are a
necessary part of the ecosystem.When
you destroy the forests, you destroy everything.If you fishermen really cared about the fish, instead of
hollering about “Indians,” you would be chasing the wood-butchers out of the
woods, and doing something about the D.N.R. poison-spraying programs that are
killing the fish flies.All of the
insects (including mosquitos!) are here for a purpose.Everything is a part of the ecosystem—it’s
about time you immigrants came to terms with that.But, most of the White people I’ve met are either so domesticated,
so brainwashed, or so afraid, that they’ll swallow the propaganda about
scapegoats hook, line and sinker, and not even dare to think about addressing
the real problems.FIRST “ENVIRONMENTALISTS”: Have
you noticed that this concentration camp called a Reservation doesn’t have as
much garbage laying around as it used to?There have been people out in crews, picking up garbage along the
roadside.The Red Lake I.R.A. Tribal
Council finally provided some leadership, at least with roadside litter.Congratulations.This is a milestone event, which should have been done years
ago—but better late than never.Picking
up roadside trash is only half the project.Not only is the clear-cutting wrecking the ecosystem, but the loggers
are really leaving a mess: piles of slash, stumps, wasted wood, oil spills, oil
cans dumped all over the place, trash everywhere.The slash and trash of the Anishinabe Ojibway forests is going on
under the misnamed “Forest Management” bureaucracy of the racist crooks in the
Bureau of Indian Affairs.They have no
jurisdiction to be cutting Sovereign Anishinabe Ojibway forests in the first
place, and they’re adding insult to injury by letting the irresponsible wood
pirates who leave such a mess come back and cut again on another contract.
Several people have asked me to write about taking the asphalt removed as a
part of the Nebish Road repair, and dumping it in the woods.The road crews should have crushed it, and
used it again in the road.It looks
like they’re going to cover the mess they made up with dirt—it will be here for
millennia.There is also absolutely no
excuse for taking “cleanup” toxins from a Bemidji oil spill, and dumping it up
here on the Reservation.Did the Tribal
Council take a payoff and grant them permission to do this—or is it that they
don’t have the power (or the guts) to stop outsiders from dumping poisons on
this land and in the water.Maybe the
Red Lake Chippewa I.R.A. Tribal Council’s paper “sovereignty” doesn’t have any
substance.ROGER JOURDAIN’S DREAM COME TRUE: Former Chairman-for-Life Roger Jourdain finally got a “National
Indian Month,” which is happening this May.It would been better to have a “invite a mythological Wanna-Be to dinner
month”—guess who’s coming to dinner.The
National Celebration could be kicked off with stereotypical colonial “Indian
Food” like fry bread and hangover soup.THE TRUTH IN LYING:Senator
Packwood of Oregon is weaseling out of the hot seat, using crooked linear
thinking.Now that he squeaked back
into the Senate, Packwood admits that he sexually harassed women.The Oregonians are accusing Packwood of
lying to his constituents, and are pressing the Senate to expel him for telling
lies.The Catch-22 is that the Senate
can’t set the precedent of invalidating Packwood’s election for telling
lies—because if that precedent were set, the entire U.S. Congress would have to
pack their bags and go home, and admit that they’re liars.If that precedent were set, then the U.S.
Government would also have to abolish the Bureau of Indian Affairs, because the
entire “Indian” identity is a lie.There are no “Indians” here, and there never were any “Indians” on this
Continent.The entire “Indian” mystique
is a myth, and it needs to be debunked.I am not an Indian.I am
Anishinabe Ojibway.We, the Anishinabe
Ojibway and other Aboriginal Indigenous People have a right to exist as a
Sovereign People on our own land, without being saddled with the projected
European identity and racist lie of “Indian,” which is an illusion and a
demeaning caricature, and an abusive mythology which serves the vested
interests of the European colonializers.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

Nation: Dr. Michael Trujillo was nominated by Clinton to head the Indian Health
Service, “a troubled agency,” ... Ojibwe News.
Abstract: Dr. Michael Trujillo was nominated by Clinton to head the Indian
Health Service, “a troubled agency,” according to an Associated Press
report.In this report, the I.H.S. is
“often criticized by Indians for being inattentive to their health needs.”What do you expect from external forces
running socialized medicine for another group of people?The Indian Health Service serves at least
two functions, one of them mandated by the International Rules of War for
Occupied Territories.
Emily Seegar, Washington-based spokeswoman for the Mille Lacs Band of Chip-away
Indians, is quoted by the A.P. as being “happy with the president’s
choice.”Dr. Trujillo is described as a
“full blooded Indian.”I don’t know
whether or not Dr. Trujillo is an Aboriginal Indigenous Person, but I know that
he is not a full-blooded Indian.There
is no such person as a full-blooded Indian on these two Continents, and if such
a mythological invention of the Europeans shows up, he should be in Ripley’s Believe
It Or Not.
There are many horror stories that can be told about the I.H.S.When a person goes into an Indian Hospital
with a ruptured appendix, the doctor says, “take two aspirin and call me in the
morning [if you’re still alive].”I
wouldn’t send my pet dog to the local Indian Hospital, and if I had any say
about what’s being done on my own land, I’d kick the I.H.S. out of here, and
send their Indians with them.
The United States needs to be seriously concerned about what the Indian Health
Service has done in the past.For one
example, ask all the women who have been sterilized without their consent by
the I.H.S.—this needs to be publicly documented.Then ask about the medical experimentation done by the
I.H.S.No matter what kind of person
is nominated to the I.H.S., or as Commissioner of Indian Affairs, they cannot
change the structure of the racist institutions for which they become
time-buyers and scapegoats.No matter
who gets the job, the entrenched bureaucracy and their bosses the special
interests, do not change.It’s in the nature
of bureaucracy to become crooked and corrupt.The whole bureaucracy of the I.H.S., and the Bureau of Indian Affairs
could be filled up with “fullblooded Indians,” and it still wouldn’t change the
nature of these racist institutions.Former B.I.A. Commissioner John Collier described the kind of Indians
who will work for these institutions as having a “white-plus psychology,” by
which he meant that such “fullblooded Indians” have a White patriline and
super-White values.TREATIES, RETROACTIVE:Under the
Treaties, and the U.S. Trust Responsibility, any relationship between “Indians”
and the U.S. is deemed “purely political,” and the Judicial Branch of the U.S.
Government did not tread on the Executive Department’s Indian Country.Retroactive Willie has now assigned the
Judicial Branch of the U.S. Government to help with the Mille Lacs Chip-Away
Treaties.The present Mille Lacs
“Tribal Government” is based on United States Government legislation
unilaterally enacted in 1934, part of the purpose of which was to abrogate the
Treaties.The Minnesota Chippewa Tribe
was created by U.S. legislation unilaterally enacted in 1889, and the purpose
of the Act of January 14, 1889 was to abrogate the Treaties and steal the land.The “Indian Treaties” and the “Indian
Tribes” which made these Treaties, exist only at the pleasure of the U.S.
Government, and have nothing to do with internationally valid land title.The Honorable State Senator Charlie Berg got
off the hook, because the United States’ negotiating with itself and the State
of Minnesota over the 1837 Treaty will drag on for decades, obscuring the real
issues.
One reason for dragging the Treaty process out, is that there are no more
forests.The ecosystem has been
destroyed, and the fish and the wildlife have nearly vanished.As the last of the fish and game disappear,
the Indians are setting themselves up for some good ol’ redneck and
Fundamentalist Indian-bashing, being blamed for the consequences of the White
man’s shameful and disgusting policies toward the environment.If you Indians are so interested in hunting
and fishing, I suggest you go on a real “fishing expedition,” up to the State
Legislature and to Washington.There
are some real sharks there, though, and catch-and-release might not be such a
good idea.(You might have to use
another White man’s fishing technique, spear-and-release.)Don’t let your lawmakers tell you any
whoppers—ask them some serious and hard questions about their policies of
destruction toward the ecosystem.What’s the point of having “hunting and fishing rights” if there’s
nothing left to hunt or fish?While
you’re at the Capitol, ask the U.S. Department of the Interior why they are
intentionally destroying the ecosystem, polluting the water, and blowing up
ducks’ nests.
I notice that nobody’s saying anything about the Black Hills Treaty.Another reason for dragging the Treaty
Process out for another couple of decades, is that in 1977 the U.S. Senate
American Indian Policy Review Commission predicted that the Final Solution
(genocide; in modern politically correct terminology, “ethnic cleansing”) would
be finalized by the year 2027: that there will be no more Aboriginal Indigenous
People on this Continent in thirty-four more years.This Final Solution has been the U.S. Government’s agenda since
the days of the Continental Congress.
As Mr. Austin Abbott praised Senator Dawes (of the Dawes Allotment Act) during
the 1890 Lake Mohonk Conference of Friend of the Indians, “These treaties are
made with tribes.You have already
signed the death warrant of the tribal relation in disestablishing the
reservation system: and, when the reservation has gone, the tribe has
gone.The party of the second part no
longer exists.”The United States
Government has not changed its genocide policy toward Aboriginal Indigenous
People, and now they tell their Indians, “with one stroke of the pen, you will
no longer exist.”According to my
crystal ball, the U.S. Government will abrogate the Indian Treaties, and
terminate the “Indians.”Their agenda
has not changed.PURLOINED SCROLLS: In the
Opinion section of Sunday’s Star Tribune, Robert Treuer wrote an article
fostering the lie that the Anishinabe Ojibway are not from here.Much of his information comes from U.S.
Government Bureau of Ethnology writings done around 1889, when the United
States had a vested interest in promoting their Chippewa Indians, who did
migrate from the East and who were warring with their European brothers.The researchers were locked into their own
culture, and even when they talked to Aboriginal Indigenous People, saw only
European mythology and stereotypes.The
introduction to one of the documents on which Treuer based his article reads,
“the purposes of the [‘Mide’] society are to give a certain class of ambitious
men and women sufficient influence through ... exorcism and necromancy to lead
a comfortable life at the expense of the credulous.”As Midewiwin of the Bear Dodem, I will tell you that in our
culture there are birchbark longhouses, but there have never been “Grand
Medicine Lodges” where we were falsely alleged to worship the Devil.The Anishinabe Ojibway never had a Devil
until he immigrated with the White man from Europe, and we never “worshipped
the Devil.”We have no Hell, and we
have no Hierarchy. What the U.S.
Government researchers wrote were projections of their own racist minds:
slanderous misinterpretations of our language, our values, our culture, our
writing, our history, and our spirituality.
As Treuer implies, language plays a formative part in culture.The major informants cited by Hoffman and
Treuer’s other sources were not Anishinabe Ojibway (which means “We, the
People”); they were Chippewa Indians with White patrilines who were not part of
the Midewiwin, and who did not speak the Anishinabe Ojibway language.We have read their names in these old books,
and have done their genealogies.Why
talk to Chip-away Indians?There are
living Anishinabe Ojibway elders of the Midewiwin who will tell you the truth
of our very ancient Traditions: we come from Grandfather the Midewiwin, and
Grandmother Earth—and we have always been right here, we are the Autochthonous
People of this very place.We tell the
Europeans who we are, and they still don’t understand.They are so imprisoned by the limitations of
their European languages that they can’t see what’s right in front of them.
Treuer’s “migration story” interpretations of our Midewiwin scrolls are about
as accurate as Nazi “interpretations” of the Torah would be, for many of the
same reasons (maybe Treuer doesn’t know what he’s doing, promoting this
propaganda).I don’t lay all the blame
on the Nazis—I haven’t met any publicly acclaimed Judeo-Christians who have
gotten their Ten Commandments right yet, either.Why don’t White writers get their Traditions straight, before
they try to scramble up my culture?The
way that these European immigrants have destroyed the environment says more
than enough about their own Traditions, culture, and language.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

Nation: Gassing and burning the Branch Davidians was the top story in the
Minneapolis Star Tribune on Friday, April 23 ...Ojibwe News.
Abstract: Gassing and burning the Branch Davidians was the top story in the
Minneapolis Star Tribune on Friday, April 23.On the same front page was an article about the Holocaust Museum
commemorating the gassing and burning of Jewish and other ethnic people in
Germany fifty years ago.President
Clinton went along with blaming the victims of the fire in Waco; in his
televised appearances he didn’t bat an eye about the way the F.B.I. went about
killing the children of a religious group.When Hitler committed genocide against religious and ethnic groups, he
was a democratically elected product of Western European Civilization, just
like the people here who are sedated by the Spin Doctors into complacency.Adolf Hitler was not unique; both he and the
Euro-Americans are a part of Western European Civilization.The Aboriginal Indigenous people here (not
the “Indians”) were scapegoated for being the owners of the vast wealth of
these two Continents, and the Euro-American version of history blames us for
the genocide of our own people.Hitler
also blamed the victims.Whether the
Waco Jesus was a “monster” or not has nothing to do with the deaths of innocent
(although perhaps misguided) men, women and children.The F.B.I. blamed the Branch Davidians for the G-Men psyching
themselves up, and created a rationale (“see what you made me do”) for
escalating a situation until many people died unnecessarily.The Feds should have had neutral negotiators—and
the children would still be alive.There needs to be a monument in Waco commemorating fratricide: White
people killing White people.
One of countless many massacres of Aboriginal Indigenous People committed by
the Europeans occurred in the winter of 1890-91 at Wounded Knee.The United States Government justified the
genocide of unarmed men, women, and children by calling it a “battle,” and
awarded 23 Medals of Honor to the soldiers who did the killing—to mold public
opinion that this was honorable behavior.In the psychotically warped linear thinking of Western European
Judeo-Christians, maybe genocide is “honorable.”The U.S. Government blamed the Lakota people for getting killed,
claiming that they were members of a cult which the B.I.A. labelled the
“Messiah Craze.”There are already
millions of Good Christian churches in this country, and they don’t seem to be
solving the problems of killing and other violence.What the moral leaders need to do is stop building new churches,
and start turning some of the churches they have into monuments and holocaust
museums—all around the world—to commemorate the billions of victims of Western
European violence.The Aboriginal
Indigenous People of this Continent need to begin the process of building
monuments and museums, in Germany and Japan, honoring and commemorating the
more than 1,000,000,000 Aboriginal Indigenous People who were annihilated in
genocide committed by Western European Civilization.
Crooked English and euphemisms play an important part in the unjustifiable and
uncalled-for killing and violent behavior by the leadership of Western European
Civilization.These people are going to
have to face reality—it can’t go on.“Ethnic Cleansing” is outright genocide, hidden by an innocuous-seeming
word.“Ethnic Cleansing” sounds like
you’re using a patented detergent to scrub the color out of people, so that you
can make them White, rather than killing them, burning their bodies, wiping
them clean out of existence and destroying every trace that they ever lived
without a speck remaining, so that all is sparkling white.I want to know if the international Jewish
Community is going to build a memorial to the people who have been slaughtered
in the former Yugoslavia?No matter
whether it’s eighty people or eight million people, it’s genocide.All people from around the world must stand
up and stop this genocide, this fratricide, and all of the other violence
that’s going on in the world, caused by Western European Civilization’s “war
and peace” and other violent values.From what I have seen in the media, the Holocaust monument in
Washington, D.C. is impressive.But, do
you think that Jewish people are the only people against whom genocide has been
committed?(What about the Aboriginal
Indigenous People of this Continent?)In the Anishinabe Ojibway religion and philosophy, the Circle comes
around—and all people have a moral obligation to make this a better world for
everybody.
The Anishinabe Ojibway have always been a non-violent people.Until we were forced to learn English, we
had no words for “war,” “peace,” “ethnic cleansing,” “genocide,” “discipline,”
“punishment,” nor “prison.”We also had
no swear words, and no ethnic slurs—we didn’t need them.The languages of Western European
Civilization have an obscenely rich vocabulary of violence, “discipline” and
other masked ugliness.FISHY NEGOTIATIONS: It’s amazing
to listen to the crooked and slippery English on the television news.According to guest politicians who spout off
on T.V. panels, the people whoare “at
the table” at the “treaty settlement” negotiations include the “landowners,”
the “sportsmen,” and the “Mille Lacs Band,” but the descendants of the Sandy
Lake Chippewa Indians have not been invited, although they are the people who
will be affected the most.The Sandy
Lake Chippewa Indians need to file a class action lawsuit against the people
who claim to be (by their Crooked English) the only relevant “landowners” and
the self-serving politicians, as well as against the Mille Lacs Band and
against Uncle Sam who runs the mythological Indian Reorganization Act
“Bands.”This 1993 “Treaty Table”
reminds me of Plymouth Rock, but this time the “Indians” aren’t invited.While the rascals divide up the goodies, the
“Indians” are on the outside looking in.Most of these “settlement negotiators” don’t seem to know anything about
reality or the truth—from the Anishinabe Ojibway perspective they look like
pathological liars.Who do they think owns
the land in what they call the “State of Minnesota”?Western European Sovereignty has never had any legal jurisdiction
in the Anishinabe Ojibway Nation, and never will.
We, the Anishinabe Ojibway, have a right to exist on our own land.No immigrant Europeans have any right to
come in here and make crooked Treaties.The Anishinabe Ojibway never invaded your land in Europe, but the
Europeans are sure over here dividing up our land.Apparently European Civilization does not include manners or a
conscience—it’s uncouth and piggish to come steal somebody else’s land and
resources.Although “Thou Shalt Not
Steal” is of the Christians’ “Ten Commandments,” this bit of religious dogma
has had no meaning during the immigrant Europeans’ five hundred and one years
of anarchy and lawlessness on this Continent. Unless the Good Christians start facing the truth instead of their
abstract “reality,” their “Ten Commandments” won’t have any meaning for the
next five hundred years either, and by that time this place will be a barren
rock like Europe.TRUNK HIGHWAYS:According to the
news, a nurse reported that the Minneapolis Police are now transporting Indians
in the trunk of their squad car, rather than bothering to call an
ambulance.President Clinton’s deficit
reduction austerity programs must really be hitting the City of Minneapolis
hard.Whenever a patrol car goes by
now, I’m going to look and see if there are any moccasins or feathers sticking
out of the trunk, and if there’s groaning and moaning coming from the trunk of
the police cars, they’ve probably given the Indians some Rodney King “police
protection.”I know that the Code of
Federal Regulations defines an “Indian” as a “non-person,” but any way you look
at it, in Reservation English a “baton” is an euphemism for just a plain old
club.Maybe one of the Trunk Indians
still had a bottle on him, and Minneapolis’ Finest didn’t want to violate the
“open bottle” law.You can carry an
open bottle in the trunk, but putting these poor guys who were just trying to
live out the White man’s stereotype of “drunken Indian” in the trunk wasn’t
necessary.Maybe one of the Officers
had a speech impediment, and thought “trunk” and “drunk” were the same
word.There’s a new stereotype, label
and slogan for the Red Ghetto’s mythological Indians now: “Nobody loves a Trunk
Indian.”My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

Abstract: Greetings.Boo-zhoo.Parlez-vous Française, eh?That’s Real Indian talk!
According to the news media, some more strange events have been happening in what
the immigrant Europeans call “Indian Country.”In the case involving the hunting and fishing rights retained in the
Treaty of 1836 by the Mississippi Chippewas, some of the heirs of the
Mississippi Chippewas, including Chief Bug-o-nay-ge-shig VII and Dale Hanks,
have been excluded by a decision of a low-ranking Federal Judge.The United States Government is focussing
their settlement efforts on the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act Mille Lacs Band
of Chippewa Indians, and is defining all of the Mississippi Chippewas who were
removed to White Earth or Red Lake, as well as any other Chippewa Indians that
they want to, as being excluded (for not having maintained a “Federally
Recognized” Band Organization).Did
China stop existing when the U.S. didn’t “recognize” them?
The United States Government is expediently defining and re-defining “Indians”
to fit their diabolical scheme of stealing.While the negotiations are in process, the eligible “Indians” are
defined as the “Mille Lacs Band.”They
are using the word “Band” as the Catch-22 word.The negotiations are being carried out with the three people who
are, under the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act, defined as having “Indian
Sovereignty” to represent the “Mille Lacs Band.”None of these three people are Anishinabe Ojibway—if they were
Aboriginal Indigenous People, the United States Government wouldn’t be dealing
with them.Dale Hanks and
Bug-o-nay-ge-shig VII are not presently “federally recognized,” and the way that
the United States Government is defining “Indians” this week, they have no
“Sovereignty.”After the crooked Mille
Lacs “Treaty Settlement” deal is finally cut and pushed through, however, then
Bug-o-nay-ge-shig VII and Dale Hanks will be brought back into the Mississippi
Chippewa family again by the U.S., and will have had their hunting and fishing
rights negated by “settlement” with the “recognized” Mississippi Chippewa, the
Mille Lacs Band.In other words, the
United States Government is going to make these “Indians” into White people,
again.To compound the problem, they
won’t have any land, any hunting, fishing, or gathering rights, and, in another
generation, any “Federally Recognized Indian Blood Quantum” either.Everything will be gone.The long-term agenda is to abrogate the
Treaties and terminate the Indians.The
allotment process was set up, and promoted to “Friends of the Indians” in the
1880’s, as designed to eliminate the “party of the second part” [“recognized
Indians”], in the “Indian Treaties.”
Another case in point, of the United States Government categorizing people into
whatever they need at that particular moment, is what’s happening with WELSA
(the White Earth Land Settlement Act).The United States is not only re-defining peoples’ “Indian blood
quantum,” they are also giving people a different set of ancestors.The Hinton Rolls defined a number of people
as “full-bloods.”Several years later,
Ransom Judd Powell did extensive “investigations” into the genealogy of people
who had gotten allotments at White Earth, and re-defined many of the people on
the Hinton Fullblood Rolls as “mixed bloods,” including a number of people who
were unilaterally re-defined with the mathematically unsound category of “Mixed
Blood, 4/4 Indian Blood Quantum.”The
reason for this sleight-of-hand was that “Mixed Blood Indians” (who were really
Whites who already had U.S. Citizenship) were defined as “competent,” U.S.
Citizens [by reason of allotment], and able to sell land (which still belongs
to the Anishinabe Ojibway).“Full Blood
Indians,” on the other hand, were defined as “incompetent,” but under “Indian
Trusteeship” the U.S. could re-define them any way they wanted to, so that
their allotment was salable, and, under “trusteeship,” could even sell their
land “for” them, without having to consult with the people the U.S. claimed
were the “individual owners.”
The people who have challenged the hocus-pocus being done at WELSA, as
“Indians,” have been told, “too bad.”The deck is stacked, and no matter what loopholes they find, any
low-ranking bureaucrat can close the loopholes on an “Indian,” and re-define
the White man’s slippery mythology of “Indian” again.What the United States Government is telling them is, “we
created, and we own the Indian identity.As long as you buy into our crooked definition of ‘Indian,’ we can
define you however we want, including giving you different ancestors.”This scam rests on the United States
Government’s ownership and definition of “Indians” and “Bands.”The U.S. is using their created and fully
controlled “Indian Bands” as the brokers.Through the 1934 I.R.A. “Indian Bands,” individual “Indians” do not own
any land, any rights, their own identity, or even their own ancestors.The White man claims that he owns it all,
with the “Indian Band” as a front.
I have always been Anishinabe Ojibway, of the Bear Dodem.I have never been an “Indian.”I admit that when I was younger, and didn’t
understand Crooked English, I tried to be an “Indian,” but it’s impossible to
live out all of the racist stereotypes and projections that the immigrant
Europeans have built into their “Indian” identity.That’s what the “Indian Boarding Schools” were all about—to take
away our Aboriginal Indigenous identity and brainwash us into being “Indians,”
so that the immigrant Europeans could justify their land theft and
genocide.Another facet of their evil
strategy was to try to convince us that we were “ration Indians” on
“Welfare.”We haven’t been on
“welfare,” not on our own land.The
immigrant Europeans have been stealing our resources to underwrite their dollar
and pay for their own welfare.The U.S.
Government has been using our Anishinabe Ojibway resources to pay their
appointed “Indian leaders” that they’re using as a front to steal from us.The self-righteous, finger-pointing
immigrant Europeans (including certain “Indian leaders”) need to ask themselves
the question, “why am I on this Continent, instead of still in Europe.”In case you haven’t noticed—you have been on
“welfare” since you got here.
The United States Government has passed unilateral legislation to turn
Aboriginal Indigenous People into “Indians” [and has yet another such garbage
bill in the pipeline, the Indian Freedom of Religion Act, under which the
Judeo-Christians are defining “Indians” and “Indian Religion”], but neither the
U.S. nor the Judeo-Christians have any jurisdiction over the Anishinabe
Ojibway, nor over our land and resources, nor over our ancient religion and
philosophy the Midewiwin.I turned in my
“Indian Enrollment Card” to the U.S. Supreme Court (Justice Thurgood Marshall),
with an explanation that I am Anishinabe Ojibway, and not “Indian.”If I call myself an “Indian,” I am lying to
myself and everybody else, and I refuse to get caught up in this vicious fake
identity.IN THE MOVIES: On the propaganda
circuit, there have been complaints about not having any “Indian Actors” in the
movies to play “Indians.”This amazes
me, because throughout the Europeans’ theft of this Continent, the whole
“Indian” thing has been has been played by a bunch of bad actors following an
insanely violent and greedy script, portraying values which have absolutely
nothing to do with the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples of this Continent.The movie, the “Last of the Mohicans,”
saturated with violence of Indians killing Indians.Why weren’t you Indians out there, demonstrating against this
movie glorifying fratricide?The next
time you demonstrate against “Indian Mascots” and “Indian Logos,” I suggest
that you also demonstrate against the Bureau of Indian Affairs, for sustaining
the whole fake “Indian identity.”Then
you would be contributing something that is positive to this Continent again,
and doing your part to make this World a better place to live, instead of promoting
stupid, mindless violence, and lies.There were no “Indians” here, and there still are no “Indians” here.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

Abstract: Greetings, Pilgrims, and all you foreign-born Europeans who call
yourselves Americans.Happy
Thanksgiving Day to you!The Mayflower
Pilgrims have been here 373 years, and the ecology of this Continent has gotten
worse every year that they’ve been here.Pilgrims, you’ve over-extended your pilgrimage, and it’s time you packed
your bags and went back home.School-children are told that the Pilgrims came here fleeing religious
persecution—but in the Mayflower Compact, which was the Pilgrim’s constitution,
the point of their journey was exploitation of the vast resources of this
Continent, and making money for the Good Ol’ Boys of the Virginia Company back
in England, and for the King who chartered them.England had already been plundered down into the bedrock, and the
King was flat-ass broke.
Over the course of the fifteen generations that the Pilgrims have been here, a
lot of them have turned into Wanna-Be Indians, in order to sell the Aboriginal
Indigenous Peoples’ land and resources to their cousins.If you really knew the Aboriginal Indigenous
culture here, you would know that the land can’t be sold—and the Whites who
bought land from the “Indians” were buying stolen property, including Manhattan
Island, which did not belong to the Indians who sold it.
When the Pilgrims, and the rest of the Foreign Born subjects of Western
European Civilization, who call themselves Americans, go home, the Aboriginal
Indigenous people who have been tolerating their shenanigans and watching
everything we have valued for millennia destroyed, are going to have a
celebration that certain guests who have overstayed their welcome have finally
left our land to go back home.A
pilgrimage is usually just a short visit.I don’t know what the people who live in Mecca would do if their
pilgrims stayed for fifteen generations.INDIAN CASINOS: Indian Casinos were promoted with a great deal of
hoop-la about “Jobs, jobs, jobs,” and also a lot of fanfare about the New
Buffalo.The implication was that
everybody would benefit.As I gaze into
my crystal ball, I see the land speculators descending like vultures on
bankrupt Indian Casinos, and along with them, I see this highly touted “great
white buffalo” turning into a White Elephant.A FISHY DEAL:The I.R.A. Tribal
Council and the State of Minnesota are always talking about Economic Development,
Democracy, and the Great American Way.But, on Reservations, this only seems to work for the in-group.An elderly gentleman who lives at the Outlet
of Lower Red Lake has a hobby of making smoked fish. He keeps himself active,
rather than sitting around watching T.V., and people enjoy the fish he
makes.He buys “rough fish” (which are
usually thrown away) like gold-eyes from the Fishery, at a dollar a pound.As an elder who isn’t rich, the Fishery
could have just donated the fish to him, since he was making good use of them.
The real problem arose after he sold ten of his smoked fish to a friend of his,
for fifteen dollars.The Red Lake
D.N.R. stopped the potato farmer who had bought the fish, at the Reservation
Line, and confiscated these fish which had come “legally” through the
Fishery.This is really petty jealousy,
which put a big strain on a friendship, and did great damage to the very small
business of an elder who wasn’t hurting anybody.Arresting the customers of an honest business is bad P.R.
The D.N.R. and the Tribal Council say that the fish is a “natural
resource.”According to their way of
thinking, timber is also a natural resource—although the forests, which are
called “timber” in crooked English, are really a part of the ecological
infrastructure, upon which the Gold-Eyes, and all of the other fish,
depend.As the timber disappears, so do
the fish—but the White man is so disconnected from Nature by his language that
he hasn’t gotten this through his thick head even after watching the fish and
other wildlife disappear, after deforesting most of the land where he’s been
over the last four thousand years.
Roger Jourdain brought in the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act, and the foreign
“Indian” government created by the I.R.A. is responsible for agreeing to the
massive destruction of the forests here, and bankrupting the Anishinabe
Ojibway.Roger Jourdain and Butch Brun
are both running to be Chairman-for-Life of the European “Indian” Government the
U.S. created by act of Congress.Informed
sources have told me that Butch Brun was bragging about how much timber he’d
stolen from the Red Lake Anishinabe Ojibway, without even paying stumpage.Many of the older people here have been
asking about why there hasn’t been a per-capita timber payment in the last
forty years.Two thieves, who have
stealing the resources in here, are running to be your Democratically Elected
Indian Leader.Either one of these
guys, or just about anybody else who’s likely to be endorsed by the B.I.A. to
be Red Lake I.R.A. Tribal Chairman, will sell the land right out from under
your house, and would probably sell their own grandmother as a part of the
package.
Every day, truckload after truckload of timber goes off of the
Reservation.Nobody stops any of those
trucks, and tells them to put the trees back, or even to unload it.Every time you see one of these trucks on
the highway, there goes a part of your timber payment—and there goes more fish
than you can count over the generations.Destroying even the third-growth popple, which is Grandmother Earth
desperately trying to heal herself, destroys the lakes, the rivers, and the
fish.If you don’t believe me, go look
at the land these Indo-Europeans came from.Where there used to be forest, all that’s left is rocks in their
indigenous homeland.IDENTITY:When the Western
Europeans landed here, they went insane with greed.The Aboriginal Indigenous People could not sell Grandmother
Earth, so the immigrant Europeans invented Indians.These are some of the ways you can tell if you’re an Indian:
If you go to a Pow-Wow and you have to pay to get in, you’re a Wanna-Be.
If you like to demonstrate against the Redskins and the Braves, you’re probably
a Wanna-Be.
If you keep electing I.R.A. Tribal Chairman who steal everything that isn’t
nailed down, you’re a good Indian.
If you hate White people and blame them for your problems, you’re a bad Indian.
If you’re always looking for your Traditions, but you can’t find them, you’re
an Indian.
If you attack people like Sun Bear and Chief Red Fox, and other Wanna-Be’s for
trying to steal your Indian identity, you’re a confused Indian.
If you’re still wearing your cowboy boots and your sunglasses at midnight,
you’re a Real Indian.
If you look for your identity in the movies Billy Jack and Dances with Wolves,
you’re an Indian.
If you listen to loud pow-wow music on a ghetto-blaster, you’re an Indian.
If you figure your identity by blood quantum fractions given to you by the
United States Government, you are a R-e-e-e-eal Indian.
If you argue with your brother about who has more “blood quantum,” you’re an
Indian.
If you follow Clyde Bellecourt, who is a Frenchman, as your leader, you’re a
lost Indian.
If you think colonial fry-bread is your indigenous food, and your belly hangs
over your belt, you’re a Big Indian.
If you’re wearing more than two pounds of turquoise-and-silver and five pounds
of beads, hey! you’re an Indian.
If you still don’t know whether you’re a Wanna-Be or an Indian, there’s more to
come in the next column.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: In the January 7, 1994 OJIBWE NEWS, Charles Lone Eagle
expressed his distress with the media circus which has hounded him.He said that he was tired of being given the
identity of a drunk who was a Trunk Indian, singled out as one of the many
people who are abused by the Minneapolis police.
Clyde Bellecourt and Larry Levanthal are exploiting Charles Lone Eagle with no
regard to his feelings or best interests.Where is the highly touted Indian solidarity, Indian Sovereignty, and
Indian and Free?Where are the Tribal
Chairmen, and the Indian Tribal Councils?What about the B.I.A., which is bound by departmental regulations to
watch out for the best interests of their Indians?Maybe the Indian élite and the Federal officials feel that the
“best interests” are to use Indians with an alcohol problem as a punching bag;
to kick them while they’re down.
Former Minneapolis Police Chief Tony Bouza wrote, in an editorial in the March
29, 1989 Minneapolis Star Tribune, that “Controlling the underclass is one of
the key functions of America’s police. ... The cops know that ... they must
sometimes use force.They possess a
legal monopoly on violence.”Could it
be that the “Indian leaders” want to rise on the Euro-American class hierarchy,
because of their White values, and so they have no objection to the brutality
used in maintaining the social classes they aspire to?
When Charles Lone Eagle got categorized as an “Indian,” the United States
Government and the churches took away his real identity and gave him a
stereotype.When he tried to live out a
part of this stereotype, he got trapped.The Minneapolis Police Department knew the stereotypes that he was stuck
in, so they took away the rest of his self-esteem and his dignity—and beat him
for no other reason than that the Euro-Americans are a violent people, and some
of the members of the Police Force get their jollies from sadistic
violence.I’ve been on both sides of
the fence: I was trained as a military policeman and assigned to a constabulary
unit, and I saw the way that some of those M.P.’s enjoyed violence.The Minneapolis Police are no different than
the B.I.A., which enjoys an abusive relationship with their Indians.The U.S.A. was founded on violence, and in
order to solve the epidemic of violence which is tearing apart U.S. cities, the
Euro-Americans need to take a hard look a their violent history, culture, and
values.MORE OF THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE
In the Sunday, January 9, 1994 issue of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, there was
a front page article about Indian-owned Casinos.The newspaper reported that B.I.A. Area Director Earl Barlow got
caught selling his influence in gaming regulation, accepting vouchers for
gambling money, and jackpots at the casinos he was supposed to regulate.While Clyde Bellecourt and his Wanna-Be
Indians were standing around in the cold demonstrating against Indian Mascots
at the 1992 Superbowl, their B.I.A. Chief, Blackfoot Indian Earl Barlow was
sitting in a Metrodome Skybox paid for by a slot machine company, doing the
Tomahawk Chop.According to the
F.O.I.A. records quoted by the Minneapolis paper, Barlow also was apparently
driving all over town, dilly-dallying with his secretary—and charging the
taxpayers for his mileage and his time.
According to the Star Tribune, the National Indian Gaming Commission does not
allow its staff to gamble in Indian casinos. Fred Stuckwisch, the Commission’s
Executive Director, is quoted as saying “I guess any [gambling] machine can be
rigged under the right circumstances.”
Abuse of power by Area Directors, public officials, and Indian Agents has been
going on since the inception of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and United States
Indian History is a chronicle of fraud, corruption, and mismanagement in the
B.I.A.; cover-ups and investigations; firing of scapegoats and bureaucratic
reorganization; and then another round of fraud, corruption, and mismanagement
in the B.I.A.
When I was young, in the 1930’s, Red Lake Reservation was explicitly a
concentration camp.The U.S. Government
policy was compulsory education.The
boarding schools were designed to take away our Aboriginal Indigenous identity.They used forked-tongue speaking, and gave
us an Indian identity.Then, these
“Indian givers” took away the Indian identity that they had just given us, by
telling us “you are the vanishing Americans, and you will go.”Now, the same crooked institutions are back
here again, promoting the Indian identity they were trying so hard to destroy
fifty years ago.
Now, the B.I.A. is having their Indians say that this Indian concentration camp
is an “Indian Nation,” with “Indian Sovereignty” (belonging to the Secretary of
the Interior).Rather than trying to
solve one small part of the problems in the B.I.A., by trying to regulate
B.I.A. employee gambling, why not just phase out the B.I.A., the Indian Tribal
Governments established by the Bureau under the 1934 I.R.A.—and the Bureau’s
Indians.
The French Métis who were made into P.O.W. Indians as a result of the “Indian
Wars” have an European identity on their patriline.The Bureau of Indian Affairs knew this, and in the 1890 Report of
the Commissioner, wrote that, “the question depends ... not on the quantum of
Indian blood, but upon the condition of his father, under the rule of civil law
‘partus sequiter patrem,’ which governs in this class of cases.... Vattel, in his Law of Nations, p. 102,
[wrote] as follows: ‘By the law of nature alone children follow the condition
of their fathers and enter into all their rights;’ and adds that this law of
nature, so far as it has become a part of the common law ... must be the rule
in the case before it. ... “
Despite laws that the people they were making into Indians were considered
Whites, the B.I.A. Commissioner stated U.S. Indian policy as, “the admixture of
blood, however, must be considered in connection with all the circumstances of
each case; consequently a fixed rule applicable to all cases can not well be
adopted.”Ten years earlier, the B.I.A.
had advocated turning White men into Indians “on the books” for the issuance of
halfbreed scrip.The Bureau has not
historically operated on the basis of meticulous attention to legal or ethical
niceties, because their philosophy has been, “Since, under existing conditions,
tribal organizations are now rapidly passing away, almost every question of
importance depending on the tribal system will be solved.”
In their arrogance and greed, the Indo-Europeans have refused to recognize the
Aboriginal Indigenous Nations of this Continent.Rather than deal with reality, the Euro-Americans made “Indians”
out of their subject people.Using
their “Indians,” they have created demeaning Indian mythology; fraudulent
Indian Treaties in which they controlled both sides; and their bureaucratic
agency of war and occupation, the Bureau of Indian Affairs.It’s about time that the Euro-Americans
trashed their whole Indian mythology, and decommissioned the B.I.A.The money saved by eliminating this
obsolete, pork-barrel bureaucracy could be applied to the deficit.
If Euro-Americans can’t phase out their mythology of Indians, why not let the
Boy Scouts take over?They’re
volunteers, and they take an oath of Scouts Honor—which is more than can be
said for the present corrupt Indian leadership.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

= (a.k.a. Francis Blake, Jr. (1993). Reflections from the Anishinabe Ojibway
Nation: Indian identity is in the news.On Sunday, October 17, ... Ojibwe News.
Abstract: Indian identity is in the news.On Sunday, October 17, Jodi Gregory of the Bemidji Pioneer reported that
Dr. Gerald Hill of the University of Minnesota, Duluth, said that Indians do
not want to become physicians because they are “afraid to lose their identity
as an Indian.”I telephoned Dr. Hill to
confirm that he really made this amazing and unique statement, but he did not
return my call.I wanted to ask him,
how can he take an abstract identity like “Indian” and make it real?
Dr. Hill is quoted in the same newspaper article as saying that “33 percent of
Indian people die before they reach age 45.”I wanted to ask him how these statistics were calculated.Were these figures weighted for blood
quantum—in computing them, was only the “Indian blood” taken into
consideration, or was the whole person counted?Do sixteen people of 1/16 blood quantum have to die before the
statisticians count one dead Indian, and are they also counted as fifteen dead
White people?If they’re going to
invent blood quantum Indians, they might as well be statistically accurate
about them.Since Dr. Hill is quoting
these numbers, he should know how his data were cooked.
The numbers that Dr. Hill is quoting reflect the European immigrants’
philosophy that “the only good Indian is a dead Indian,” and according to Dr.
Hill’s figures, the European settlers continue to create conditions that kill
Indians.But, their genocidal agenda is
running into a quandary with blood-quantum Indians.Most of the Indians have 1/16 Indian blood, so in order have one
“good dead Indian,” statistically speaking, they also have to kill fifteen
White people who have been turned into Indians.
Dr. Gerald Hill was in Bemidji to attend the 9th Annual Minnesota Indian
Education Banquet, at which awards were given to Outstanding Indians.It must that the people who parade around in
the Media as Indians know that they have a fake identity, and this is why they
do not invite Aboriginal Indigenous People.If you were trying to steal somebody’s land, identity, and resources,
would you invite them, or recognize them with awards?POLITICS:Now it’s known that
Butch Brun has taken off his White hat, and thrown his Indian turkey-feathers
into the ring—he is going to run for Tribal Chairman again.Butch has been preparing for a long time.As a candidate, he’ll have to make stump
speeches—and we all know that there are plenty of stumps around the Rez.Butch and his cousins have made sure of
that.I have heard rumors that the
reason Brun’s running is that he hasn’t yet fulfilled the election promises he
made four years ago, and that he needs four more years to straighten out the
mess he’s made during his first term.
When I asked Chairman Brun about running for Chairman again, he said, “Why
should you care?You’re not a tribal
member anymore, you don’t vote.”I told
him, “my interest is because you White guys are on my land.”Brun, if you want to play Indian, go some
other place, and take your I.R.A. Tribal Government and your inter-related
clique of French Feudal Indians, with you.
Rumor also has it that Butch is running again because he and his cousin Chunky
are trying to evade paying taxes on the timber that they have stolen from the
Anishinabe Ojibway.While Brun is
Tribal Chairman, the legal fees on their tax cases are being paid by the Feds
out of so-called “Tribal Money.”The
United States Government subsidizes their ecologically destructive timber
operations, so why is Brun & Co. biting the hand that feeds them by
tax-dodging?How greedy can you
get?The Bruns also have not paid full
stumpage on the miles of forest and wildlife habitat that they’ve
destroyed.I know that if I were given
a subsidized business to go to Europe and clearcut Chairman Brun’s Teutonic
Aboriginal lands, in the tree farm they call the “Black Forest,” I’d gladly
grease the wheels and pay my taxes, and everybody would be happy except the
indigenous German people, who would be understandably upset about having their
trees cut down yet again.
The foreigners who call themselves Indians are plundering Anishinabe Ojibway
forests at Red Lake, abetted by sweetheart contracts and backroom deals.If Earl Barlow was winning big money
gambling at B.I.A.-supervised Indian casinos, what about the influence peddling
and kickbacks from the forest products corporations?MINNESOTA SCHOOL DISTRICT 38: The United States Congress is responsible for Indians, since they
created Indians by legislation and implication, and use U.S. statutes to define
this counterfeit identity to meet the needs of the moment. The U.S. Congress
also invented and controls the 1934 I.R.A. Governments for their Federally
Recognized Indian Tribes.The U.S.
Government put their White and mulatto Indians on land which does not belong to
them, and that’s an act of violence.On
a smaller scale, it’s the same as going into somebody’s house, breaking and
entering, and then having the burglars set up housekeeping and holding the real
owners prisoner.
The United States also passed unilateral laws mandating compulsory
education.The policy-makers who saw
compulsory education as a more publicly acceptable form of genocide than a war
of annihilation, had two separate agendas for what they called “Indian
education”: totally destroying Aboriginal Indigenous language and culture; and
simultaneously turning Europeans and Indo-Europeans into “Indians.”The Aboriginal Indigenous People who
survived a century of genocide are learning crooked English, and understanding
the White man’s strategy.When
Aboriginal Indigenous people take on the Indian identity, they give up
everything: their land, their children, their natural resources, their
Sovereignty, their religion, even the air they breathe.According to Tuesday’s Minneapolis Star
Tribune, there are Aboriginal Indigenous People from South Dakota, who are
taking back their real identity, who don’t want to pushed into the Wanna-Be
identity of “Sioux Indian” anymore.I
applaud and admire you for your courage.It’s about time.But, the Red Lake Schools are promoting
racism and segregation; they are still caught up in the 19th-century
cowboy-and-Indian frontier daze of making people into Indians.They say that they have “Indian Education,”
which doesn’t fit any of the children who are forced to attend these
European-curriculum schools, because there are no such people as “Indians.”The compulsory school education system is
being used to brainwash Indo-European children into the non-existent identity
of Indians.That is child abuse,
teaching children to hate themselves by encouraging them to hate White people
and hate Black people, which is who they really are.Instead of trying to mold children into something that doesn’t
exist, why not teach them the skills that they will need to succeed in this
world: physics, political science, chemistry, calculus, and reading and writing
fluent English.The way it is now,
Indians educated on the Reservation don’t know enough math to figure out the
implications of their own mythological Indian blood quantum.
There needs to be a public Congressional investigation into what the United
States has been doing with their invented Indians since the first Continental
Congress.Some of the White people who
have been turned into Indians have legitimate grounds for lawsuits for damages
incurred by forcing them into a fake identity.The monetary value of these damages far exceeds the carrot-on-a-stick dollars
involved in potential per-capital payments and illusory “land settlements,” for
example WELSA.The U.S. has
consistently violated their own Federal Civil Rights legislation in the way
that they have treated their invented Indians.That’s why the U.S. Congress passed the Indian Civil Rights Act, which
makes civil rights for “Indians” as mythological as the Indians
themselves.How many Indians have won
big-money court settlements for civil rights violations under the I.C.R.A.?My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

= (a.k.a. Francis Blake, Jr. (1993). Reflections from the Anishinabe Ojibway
Nation: It must be a sporting event to make Indian Treaties.An in-depth interview ...Ojibwe News.
Abstract: January 1, 1993
It must be a sporting event to make Indian Treaties.An in-depth interview by staff writer Ron Schara with Don Wedll
about the Mille Lacs Treaty was published in the Sports section of last
Sunday’s Minneapolis Star Tribune.Don Wedll is the Indian commissioner of natural resources at Mille
Lacs.In this article, it is reported
that the Mille Lacs Tribal Council held community meetings with their
constituents about the resource negotiations with the State of Minnesota, or
whatever they discussed.However, in
the last paragraph of the article, Wedll is quoted as saying “that [a] tribal
person doesn’t have any more rights than what the tribal government authorizes
them to have.”This statement is in
accord with the United States Congress’ position that political, civil, and
human rights for Indians—and by their insinuation, for Aboriginal Indigenous
People—are a “purely political process.”What is the point of having community meetings, when the decisions have
already been made by the Department of the Interior, under their unilaterally
imposed, dictatorial and all-embracing “trust.”
Under the “trust” the United States Government claims the right to refuse to
recognize “democratically elected” members of the Indian Reorganization Act
Councils, as well as taking away the “Chieftainship” of allegedly hereditary
“Indian Chiefs.”The entire structure
of the United States’ Government’s “Indians” is fictitious, and dealing with real
problems through this fictitious “Indian” context makes the problems
insoluble.The United States
Government’s “think tanks” of social engineers manage to keep most people from
even seeing the real problems by creating factions, diversionary schemes and
illusory issues, and crippling people by not teaching them any language with
which they can communicate.The
“Indian studies” programs are a case in point: teaching students to effectively
understand and use Crooked and Slippery English would help them more than the
present practice of teaching them Bishop Baraga’s make-believe Creole language
called “Chippewa.”The effectiveness of
Camp Justice at White Earth is similarly crippled because the “Indian community
leaders” depend on the United States Government for their position and their
very identity—whether they are on the side of “protest” or whether they are on
the side of “establishment.”They are
not dealing with reality, and so they cannot possibly effect any real change.
The “treaties” also have no connection with reality—the one affecting Mille
Lacs as well as the rest of the 400-odd ratified “Indian” treaties are
boilerplate land theft, in which the United States owns both sides of the
“treaty.”These “Indian Treaties” have
no connection with the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ land and resource rights,
except that “treaties” are being used to try to steal them.If the “treaties” were real, “Indians” could
take the United States Government to World Court, instead of dickering around
with the State of Minnesota.Don Wedll
is not an Anishinabe Ojibway: unless he is being grievously misquoted by Ron
Schara, Wedll is discussing the issues only within the limited context of the
Indo-Europeans’ centralized, hierarchial thinking.If Wedll knew anything about the Anishinabe Ojibway Midewiwin
philosophy, he would know that the reason that the forests, lakes, and other
natural resources here were kept in a beautiful, abundant, and pristine state,
is because each individual (not the “tribe”—another English word
referring to an European import) jointly holds their own Aboriginal Indigenous
Sovereignty, and that each individual person holds personal responsibility for
keeping the environment the way it is supposed to be.Now, under the slash-and-plunder management of the fictitious
Tribe of Chippewa Indians, and their puppet-masters the U.S. Department of
Interior, everything that the Anishinabe Ojibway hold sacred is being
destroyed.
The “Indian Tribal Councils” are hierarchial governments, created by the Europeans.Specifically, the 1934 Indian Reorganization
Act “Tribal Council” of the Mille Lacs Band of Minnesota Chippewa Indians is a
political hockey-puck created by the United States Congress by specific acts of
United States Legislation in 1889 and 1934.The ultimate authority of this “unique” “federally recognized” “Indian
tribal government” is, under United States law and bureaucratic regulation,
vested solely in the Secretary of the Interior, who is a political hack
appointed by the U.S. President.
I got a telephone call from a reader who stated he was not an Indian.He proceeded to give me a lecture on the
evils of gambling, and what Indian Casinos were doing to the community, andcategorized me as an “Indian” presumably
benefitting from the Casinos.I told
him right out that I was not an Indian, I am an Anishinabe Ojibway with a Clan
and a Dodem, and I have nothing to do with the Casinos nor the people who
receive any benefit from them.The
people who operate the Casinos are White people: Métis people with White
biological fathers and European values, and the more-or-less full-blooded
Whites who get a hefty chunk of the Casino profits for “management” and are
using the White “Indians” as a front to maintain their gaming monopoly.This reader apparently wanted to scapegoat
me for the Casinos, and when I wouldn’t accept the blame he hung up on me.
If the European Courts weren’t so crooked, I would file a class-action lawsuit
on behalf of Aboriginal Indigenous People, about defamation of character by
calling us “Indians,” hooking us up to “Indian Gaming” and crooked treaties
that we never had anything to do with.The United States Government has a vested interest in keeping the
“Indian Treaties” in public view as “legitimate,” because their fraudulent
title to the land they occupy, as well as avoiding responsibility for their
genocide, depend on the “Indian Treaties,” on their social and genetic
engineering, and maintaining the blurring of Aboriginal Indigenous People into
“Indians.”
A lot of people get hurt by the “Indian” identity.When I was growing up, the role models for being “Indian” were
drunken, lazy, dirty “Indians.”There
was a lot of fighting and violence along with alcohol and stress—the Europeans
brought their social problems here, and intentionally encouraged the breakdown
of social order in their “Indian” communities so they could steal the
Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ land and destroy our traditional
communities.The consequences of this genocidal
social engineering are still with us, and many of the community’s role models
are still trapped in the violence of the “Indian” identity.Going through old newspapers as a part of
our research, I found a newspaper from 1952 in which the F.B.I. reported that
“crime” was “one the rise,” and it wasn’t too long ago that Bemidji claimed it
was the “crime capital” in order to get a new jail here.I don’t know if crime went down after the
jail was built, but you don’t hear the Chamber of Commerce promoting “Bemidji
the Crime Capital” anymore. This
society has to be sick, to promote violence and crime in order to get more
funding so they can hire more Crime-fighters, and buy more weapons.Crime is still going up, and so I suppose
even more police officers will get even more assault weapons.What kind of society are you creating, where
you don’t know who is the “good guy” and who is the “bad guy,” but they both
have machine guns?They told me I was a
“savage” in school, and told me I had to be “civilized.”Is this terrible violence the best that
Western Civilization can do?
Over and over and over again, the European-language media reports on issues
that concern Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ rights, land and resources as
though the “Indians” are the same people as the Anishinabe Ojibway and other
Aboriginal Indigenous People.I pointed
this out to a reporter recently, who said, “those Indians are dark, and they
all look alike.”That’s what he said.I told him that a lot of these “Indians”
were Métis people when they left Europe, because of the Moors, and that as a
matter of verifiable fact, many of the “Indians” do not have any Aboriginal
Indigenous ancestry at all—the United States Department of the Interior
controls who can be Indian and who can not, because the Europeans created
Indians.MORE POLITICAL SHENANIGANS, and a re-cap of Lame Duck President Bush’s
four years: “Read My Lips ... Pardon Me”“No More Taxes ... Pardon Me”“S
& L Bailouts ... Pardon Me”Did you
know that Charles Keating and his son’s prison sentences total nearly 900
years?The judge who sentenced the
Keatings has discovered what Ponce de Leon lost his life looking for, the
“fountain of youth.”In the
sado-masochistic society which the Europeans have created here, it figures that
only people who would be allowed access to near-immortality would be
incarcerated crooks and criminals.Pardon me.
The politicians and the lobbyists who have been doing capitalist/communist
economic engineering for the last two hundred years have given St. Avarice, the
God of Greed, a bad name.

Abstract: Mark Neuzil, of the Associated Press, put a story on the wires which
ran Sunday in the Minneapolis Star Tribune.He wrote, “according to legal precedent, the treaties can be overridden
by acts of Congress.The president even
has the power to declare entire tribes extinct.”In plain layman’s terms, this is abrogating the Treaty and
terminating the Indians.
When the Anglo-Europeans created “Indians,” they were insane with greed, using
their own European English language as a weapon against the Aboriginal
Indigenous People.At that time, we did
not understand English.Now, we have
studied the oppressor, and his language tells us a lot about him and how he
looks at the world.It is significant
that the A.P. disseminated the information that the president “has the power to
declare entire tribes extinct,” but the published article did not add the
complimentary pieces of information that these “Indian tribes” are an European
concept, and the “tribes” over which the U.S. President has jurisdiction are
“tribes” invented by the U.S. Congress and other Europeans.“Tribe” is an European concept, and has
nothing to do with Aboriginal Indigenous Nations.I’m sure glad I’m Anishinabe Ojibway.I am not an “Indian,” and trying to trying to put the “Indian”
label on me, or any other Aboriginal Indigenous Person, is racism.The racist U.S. has no jurisdiction to
declare me “extinct,” although they have murdered most of my Anishinabe Ojibway
relatives trying to send my people into extinction.We, the Anishinabe Ojibway have a right to exist.The United States openly admitted genocide
when they created “Indians” and the “Indian religion.”The World Community ought to take a very
cautious second look at any European Nation-State which talks of declaring
entire groups of human beings “extinct.”The very word “Indian” is racism, and the United States is still
committing genocide against the Aboriginal Indigenous People, hiding their
Final Solution behind the “Indians” they have manufactured and are promoting
very heavily.
In the same Sunday paper, Mille Lacs Chippewa D.N.R. Commissioner Don Wedll was
quoted as saying that the way to resolve the “Treaty” issue was to ship all the
Europeans back to Europe.The irony of
it is that he is not Anishinabe Ojibway, either, and the Mille Lacs “Indians”
who voted to abrogate the Treaties and terminate themselves are European Métis
who might as well go back to Europe along with their White fathers, if
anybody’s getting sent back to where they came from.I see part of the issue as being that we are all here now—we
can’t turn back the clock.In order to
live here harmoniously, people need to be honest about the reality of history,
and about their own identities.The
“Indian” identity is a dishonest, artificial identity created by the Europeans
with malicious and thieving intent.
INDIAN RELIGION:Indian religion
is in the news again, being legislated by Whites, which it should be—because
the people caught in the Indian identity are defined by the Whites.They become Wanna-Be’s.But, Indian religion has nothing to do with
the Midewiwin or other Aboriginal Indigenous religion here, which is much older
than either Christianity or Indian Religion.
The United States Government has a vested interest in confusing the Aboriginal
Indigenous People with the “Indians” and Métis, both to hide the genocide and
to assure their hold on the land they have stolen.As Indian Commissioner Thomas Jefferson Morgan wrote in 1892, to
suggest that mixed-bloods with a White father were not Indians“would unsettle and endanger the titles to
much of the lands that have been relinquished by Indian Tribes and patented to
citizens of the United States.”Morgan
also observed that if patrilineally White people were not “Indians,” then there
was a serious question as to whether the Aboriginal Indigenous People might not
have an equitable claim against the U.S. Government for the misappropriation of
their annuities and their land, among other claims.Former Vice President Charles Curtis, who was an “Indian” without
Aboriginal Indigenous ancestry himself, supported Commissioner Morgan’s
position, and realized that “Congress could make or unmake an Indian regardless
of genealogy, ethnological data, treaty commitments, or tribal preference.So could an employee of the Indian Office,
acting under his interpretation of federal law or the directive of an
administrative superior.”
After a hundred years, you’d think they would know better.But, the Senate Select Committee on Indian
and Insular Affairs, of the United States Congress, is at it again.They have been having hearings on “Indian
religion.”The Aboriginal Indigenous
People retain our own Sovereignty, and do not need the permission of the United
States nor any other dependent Nation-State to practice our own religion in our
own land—and it’s not “Indian religion,” either.Senator Inouye’s “Indian Religion” legislation is yet another
hokey and fake ploy to use “Indians” for the Unites States to gain jurisdiction
over Aboriginal Indigenous People.
The Senate Select Committee is also using their “Indian Religion” to try to
claim jurisdiction over the Black Hills, as well as the burial sites of the
Aboriginal Indigenous People, which they are erroneously claiming are “Indian
Sacred Sites” and “Indian burial mounds.”The mounds in which my Anishinabe Ojibway ancestors are buried,
especially those at the “outlet” of Red Lake, were plundered and robbed sixty
years ago.The European (Métis Indian
and White) grave-robbers are trying to cover their ass by re-writing the
“Indian Freedom of Religion Act.”Has
Senator Inouye read the “establishment” clause in the Constitution?ALWAYS GET A RECEIPT: A
Christianized Métis Indian had taken two dollars from a merchant.He was afterwards converted and was taught
that it was sinful to steal.So, he
went to the merchant and gave him the two dollars.The merchant praised him for his honesty, but still the Indian
showed no disposition to go.Not
knowing what he wanted, the merchant asked him if he wished to buy
anything.He replied, “I want a
receipt.”“Why do you want a receipt?Have I not credited it in my book?” asked
the merchant, “and is that not sufficient?”“Well,” said the Indian, “St. Peter has the keys of the Kingdom of
Heaven, and when I go up there he will ask me if I was a good man, and I will
answer, ‘Yes, St. Peter,’ and he will ask, ‘But have you not sinned?’ and I
will say, ‘Yes, St. Peter, but the Blackrobe has forgiven me.’St. Peter will ask, ‘Did you return those
two dollars you stole from the merchant,’ and I will say, ‘Yes, St. Peter.’
When St. Peter asks, ‘Where is your receipt’—I don’t want to have to chase all
over Hell to find you.”
The moral of this story is, always get a receipt in writing.

Abstract: On Friday, April 29, the Clinton Administration is hosting an Indian
media circus, which the White House press relations office termed an “historic
event.”More than five hundred duly
elected 1934 I.R.A. Indian Wanna-Be Leaders (including Lame Duck Chairman
Gerald “Butch” Brun) will stand around outside the White House, waiting to
shake hands with the President.(I
don’t know if they will let them inside the Big House if they have to go to the
bathroom, or if other arrangements have been made for the 498 clowns—Indians on
the Federal payroll—who will be attending at the taxpayers’ expense.)The public relations people at the White
House did not mention whether Chairman-For-Life Roger “Absentee Ballot”
Jourdain will be there.MORE I.R.A. NEWS:
The Blood Quantum Chip-away Indians are gearing up for Federally mandated
Unique Indian Elections, to be held at the end of May at Red Lake and other
P.O.W. camps called Indian Reservations.Sovereign Chairman-For-Life Roger “Outsider” Jourdain has been
disqualified as a candidate by the incumbent I.R.A. Tribal Council, using an
amendment to the 1959 I.R.A. Red Lake Chippewa “Band Constitution” which was
enacted during Chairman-For-Life Roger Jourdain’s Federally Recognized
dictatorial regime: “Article 5, Sec. 5(b), Amended [I.R.A.] Tribal Election,
May 24, 1978.”In his campaign
literature, the Chairman-For-Life claimed that his Sovereignty (as a Federally
acknowledged majority of the Red Lake Chip-away Band’s government) over-rode
the 1959 I.R.A. “Band Constitution,” and that he should be automatically
qualified as a Candidate.Roger
Jourdain is so Sovereign that he took away Archie King’s Title, as Hereditary
Head Chief, and gave it to Chairman “Butch” Brun’s half-brother, another White
man.
The campaign promises are flying thicker and thicker, and one of the benefits
of holding the election in the Spring, is that people won’t have to buy much
fertilizer for their gardens.But,
there is one candidate who is talking like an honest man—his rhetoric almost
made me want to become an Indian again, so I could vote for him in the
election.Then, I thought about all of
the other candidates, with what former B.I.A. Commissioner calls a “White Plus
Psychology,” and I quickly returned to reality.The promise that this “honest politician” made, is that when he’s
elected, he will pass a resolution: “May I be excused from this meeting, with a
year’s salary, so I can go pick up my new car.I will be available in an Atlantic City Casino, or I will be laying on
the beach in Waikiki.Instead of
sitting through a cold Minnesota winter, nodding my head in unanimity, FAX me
the resolutions, and I will rubber-stamp them ‘YES’.For an extra $50.00 a resolution, I will nod my head while I do
it.”TREATY NEGOTIATIONS:
The 1934 I.R.A. Mille Lacs Band of the Minnesota Chip-away Tribe is at it again
-—these Federally Recognized Indians are gambling and treaty-making like there
was no tomorrow.The United States
Government is using their Federal Instrumentality (created under European Roman
Law).The U.S. Government’s Indians,
with their English Law, Roman Law and Indian Law, are operating under an
European paradigm which has no jurisdiction in the Ahnishinahbæótjibway
Nation.
The present “Treaty Negotiations” are no more honest than the original ones
were.The “bait-and-switch” being used,
this time, is hunting and fishing in the so-called “ceded area.”As far as I can see it, the hunting and
fishing is pretty hypothetical—the forests have been clearcut, the water has
been polluted, mahnomen beds have been destroyed, and rivers have been
dammed up, and the European immigrants have raised havoc with the Ahnishinahbæótjibway
permaculture and the ecology in general.The hunting and fishing is gone (would you eat a fish out of the
Mississippi river?).The Mille Lacs
Chip-Away Indians are allowing themselves to be put into the position of
scapegoats: the fish have nearly disappeared, and the State of Minnesota is (as
usual) setting up the molding of public opinion.According to my crystal ball, the Mille Lacs Indians will be
blamed for the disappearing fish and other wildlife.
What neither the State of Minnesota nor the Mille Lacs Band is publicly talking
about, is that the Generic Chip-away Indians ceded whatever eminent domain they
might have had (as patrilineal Indo-Europeans, by “right of discovery” under
Holy Roman Law), under Article 3 of the Treaty of 1826, under which these
Generic Chip-aways stipulated the United States’ “existing jurisdiction” as the
Sovereign over Chip-away Indians.Whether the fishing licenses are issued to Federally Recognized Blood
Quantum Mille Lacs Chip-away Indians through the 1934 I.R.A. Mille Lacs Tribal
Council, by the United States Government; or whether they are issued directly
by the State of Minnesota, the Federally Certified Indians (whether they are
catalogued as “full-blood” or “1/8”) still have to jump through Roman Law
bureaucratic hoops to get a hunting and fishing license from the White
Man.It’s the same old story—now that
the fish and game are gone, it’s mighty white of the invading European
immigrants to offer their patrilineal blood brothers a good deal on special
hunting and fishing licenses.The
forthcoming lawsuit over the 1837 and 1855 Indian Treaties is being heard in
United States Federal Court, rather than in International Court, because the
so-called “Indian Treaties” have always been internal affairs of the European
government which calls itself the United States of America.
None of this hoop-la has anything to do with the allodial, autochthonous and
inalienable jurisdiction of the Ahnishinahbæótjibway over our
land and everything connected with it.
In a recent Commentary article in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Laura Waterman
Wittstock wrote that “Tribes are independent entities ... subject only to the
exceptionally great powers of Congress,” and quoted the U.S. Constitution that
the U.S. Congress has the power to “regulate Commerce with the Indian tribes.”She implies that the “Unique” relationship
between what the U.S. Congress calls the “Federal instrumentalities” of 1934
Indian Reorganization Act “Indian Tribes” and the U.S. Government comes under
the jurisdiction of International Law—but the U.S. relationship with their
Indians has always been an internal affair, although admittedly under the
jurisdiction of International Law in terms of the Rules of War for occupied
people, which comes out of Judeo-Christianity and Roman Law.Under this parasitic European law, the White
Indians are falsely claiming to be Aboriginal Indigenous People, and continuing
to steal our identity and what remains of our land and resources.
The Catch-22 is that so-called International Law, administered through the
World Court and the United Nations, is also Roman Law as it has been modified
through the Western European colonizing nations.It is a European concept, with no connection to the Ahnishinahbæótjibway.There are no Aboriginal Indigenous People in
either the World Court or the United Nations—almost all of the people involved
in these so-called “international” agencies are patrilineally Indo-Europeans or
descendants of hierarchical Asian empires.It is a lie to call what comes from this European institution,
“International Law.”It has no
jurisdiction over the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples of the world.
Schoolchildren are taught that the “Roman Empire fell,” but in reality it only
mutated, and rears its ugly head on both sides of the duality of church and
state.They say “Latin is a dead
language,” but it’s alive and well, embedded in the English language, Roman
law, and Christianity: defining people into old hierarchial Roman-derived
categories, regulating the perceptions and behavior of native speakers of
English.The perversions of the
European colonial paradigm have come full circle, and if there is going to be a
harmonious and viable world for future generations, both the European
hierarchical languages and the old Roman assumptions about nature and
Grandmother Earth have to change.

Nation: On March 7, 1902, the B.I.A. held meetings at Redlake, using their

News.
Abstract: On March 7, 1902, the B.I.A. held meetings at Redlake, using their
Indians to steal from the Aboriginal Indigenous People again.The land on the agenda was 256,152 acres of
Red Lake Anishinabe Ojibway alleged “surplus land,” also known as the eleven
Western Townships.According to the transcripts
of the negotiations, Indian Agent McLaughlin did not mention Sovereign
Anishinabe Ojibway title to our own land, but in order try to steal the land,
he talked about the mythology of Indians and Indian title, “The title to Indian
lands, Indian reservations, not only this Red Lake reservation, but all other
Indian reservations in the United States, the title of the Indian is simply the
right of occupancy, that is to use it ... “Earlier, McLaughlin had claimed, “Indian reservation lands held in
common by Indians cannot be sold or disposed of except to the United States;
... the fee or vested right to the lands is in the United States ... Indians
are therefore simply tenants for life ... “So-called Indian title is a White man’s abstraction which does not
exist.Charles Morrison, of Scottish
patrilineal ancestry, was the translator at these negotiations.
The 1902 transcripts also refer to the 1889 Agreement: “Mr. Rice, in
negotiating the treaty [sic] of 1889 promised the Indians that there would be
only two steam-boats on the lake and river.”Commissioner Rice was lying to the Indians at the 1889 Council.As McLaughlin explained in 1902, “The
agreement ... made in 1889 clearly provides that all waterways within the
reservation therein described are to be free for commercial purposes to all
citizens of the United States, nothing is said about number of boats, whether
there is to be 1 Boat, 2 Boats, 50 Boats or 100 Boats.The waters are free to navigation.Free transportation on the Boats that are navigating
these streams should have been provided in the agreement to entitle you to it,
but there is no such provision.If the
commission negotiating with you promised you free transportation they exceeded
their authority.”This is an euphemism.What Agent McLaughlin said was “exceeded ...
authority,” was an outright lie.Commissioner
Rice, Indian Agent McLaughlin, Reverend Whipple, and the rest of the land
thieves who represented the United States Government were liars.
The 1889 Minnesota Chippewa Commission Agreement was presented, both in the
English-language transcripts, and in the documents published by the U.S.
Congress, as a freely negotiated agreement, although the Act of January 14,
1889, reads otherwise—and during the “negotiations,” some of the people there
rather politely called the U.S. Government liars.In 1902, McLaughlin was talking to people who had been present in
1889, and he admitted that the “treaty [sic] which Governor Rice presented here
... is that this was enacted by Congress and sent here for your ratification
without your having any say in its preparation ...” and did not require Red
Lake consent.The alleged “Treaty” was
written in Washington, D.C., the legislation unilaterally enacted by the U.S.
Congress reads “as to the Red Lake Reservation the cession and relinquishment
shall be deemed sufficient if made and assented to ... by two-thirds of the
male adults of all the Chippewa Indians in Minnesota.”This phrase is where the “Minnesota Chippewa
Tribe” came from, and this is also why some of the Leading Indians supported by
the United States Government at Red Lake are descendants of White Chippewa
Indians packed on the Red Lake Indian Rolls under the Minnesota Chippewa
Commission.If you want to know more,
read the Committee Hearing Reports and the other U.S. Government Documents
about how the Indians and the Whites stole the land from the Anishinabe
Ojibway.
The European immigrants were, and still are, trying to destroy our Aboriginal
Indigenous ecological base.The Mille
Lacs band is presently negotiating for the illusion of hunting and fishing
rights.What good are hunting and
fishing rights if there is no fish or game?Annihilating the wildlife has been White man’s plan all along—in 1902
Indian Agent McLaughlin said, “in a few more years there will be no more game
in the country.Therefore this tract of
land that I ask you to cede is of little value ... the game will soon disappear
...”
The White European Indians who spoke French or broken English greedily signed
the 1902 Agreement.My grandfather,
Bah-wah-we-nind, could not and did not sign, because he could not sell the
land, his religion, nor his identity.He could not sell Grandmother Earth.The crooked Indian Agent put down an “X” mark for my great-grandfather, Bah-se-noss
who was already dead, and who would not have signed nor agreed if he had been
still living.The Anishinabe Ojibway
have never agreed to sell any of our land; we can’t.
The United States Government has been trying to invent European land titles
since they got here, using every illusion they can think of to steal this land and
hide the genocide.These Europeans
recognize Aboriginal Indigenous land title, by propping up puppet Indian
governments and shuffling paper Sovereignties.The Indians have whatever crumbs of White sovereignty the White man
gives them, but Indians are not Aboriginal Indigenous people, and the Indians
do not have Aboriginal Indigenous Sovereignty, they do not have Natural Rights,
and they have no legitimate claim to Anishinabe Ojibway land.They are carpet-baggers and squatters, put
on this land by the invading U.S. Government, and they are helping their White
relatives steal.
European land title rests on the mythology of their Judo-Christian religion,
which holds their Sovereignty.As
explained by one real estate attorney, “I acknowledge your letter inquiring as
to the title of the ... property prior to the year 1803.Please be advised that in the year 1803 the
United States of America acquired the Territory of Louisiana from the Spanish
Crown by conquest.The Spanish Crown
had originally acquired title by virtue of the discoveries of one Christopher
Columbus, sailor, who had been duly authorized to embark upon the voyage of
discovery by Isabella, Queen of Spain.Isabella, before granting such authority, had obtained the sanction of
His Holiness, the Pope; the Pope is the Vicar on Earth of Jesus Christ; Jesus
Christ is the Son and Heir apparent of God.God made Louisiana [territory] ...”Judeo-Christianity is a foreign religion with a Western European
perspective, and it has no jurisdiction on Anishinabe Ojibway land.Judeo-Christianity is fine in Europe(what the Europeans do in Europe is their
own business), but it does not belong here.Anishinabe Ojibway Sovereignty is held by Grandfather Midewiwin and
Grandmother Earth, and we have inalienable Sovereign title to our land.We are on our authochthonous land.We the Anishinabe Ojibway have a right to
exist.THE BOSTON TEA PARTY SYNDROME: Everybody has read about the U.S.
Revolution, and about the Boston Tea Party, where White men dressed up as Indians.The Indian is not an Aboriginal Indigenous
person, but the White man is trying to create an illusion, a mythological race
of people who will fill the role of the Aboriginal Indigenous People, but who
do what the White man wants them to do, for example sell land and
resources.Now, there are Urban Indians
who run around dressed up in cowboy boots and dark glasses; they are White
people telling other Whites that they are Aboriginal Indigenous People.They go around in the Cities with single
issues, one of which is “mascots.”They
say, “stop the racism of mascots and sports teams logos.”But, Clyde and Vernon—don’t you know that
the very word “Indian” is a derogatory name?Why don’t you lobby to have the Politically Correct people abolish the
word “Indian,” which is a dirty word?Or, are you living out the lazy Indian Stereotype, too lazy to go to
work?And, who are the low-class White
man sponsors who keep you funded to perpetuate the stereotype of mythological
Indians, sponging off the Aboriginal Indigenous People and pretending to be
somebody that you’re not?The
Professional Indians are caricatures acting like fools, who apparently have no
pride.This country would be in better
shape if people would quit telling lies.Every time I hear somebody claim to be an “Indian,” I say, “there goes a
liar”—there are no Indians here.People
who say they are Indian are in complicity with the White man in genocide.It’s time we make this a better world to
live in.The celluloid era of
Cowboys-and-Indians is gone, if it ever existed.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

Nation: On May 27, 1993, the Red Lake Chippewa Tribal Council passed a

American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: On May 27, 1993, the Red Lake Chippewa Tribal Council passed a resolution
to hire Claire Henderson as a Research Consultant under the Cross Cultural
program, to “authenticate” the Red Lake Chippewa history.I don’t know why the Tribal Council needs to
spend an undisclosed amount of money to find out who they are (they could have
asked me for their genealogies, and I could have given them their French family
trees, for free.)
Since the Boston Tea Party, White people have been dressing up as Indians.The Indian Claims Commission cites
“North-West [Fur] Company employees, disguised as Indians,” who were
threatening to attack Lord Selkirk in 1817.Since the Europeans got here, they have been pretending to be Aboriginal
Indigenous people, stealing our identity in order to fight each other and steal
our land.IDENTITY CRISIS:
In December of 1992, James Kirkpatrick wrote a column for the San Diego Union,
entitled “The fight over certifiably ‘Indian’.”The issue on the surface was Public Law 101-644, which was about
who was a real Indian, and had a right to sell certified Indian art.Kirkpatrick wrote, “Ironically, many artists
without a drop of Indian blood may be certifiably ‘Indian’ under the law.These are the descendants of Caucasians who
managed by chicanery to get on the famous—or infamous—Dawes Rolls.”
Federally Recognized Indians are issued plastic laminated CDIB (Certification
of Degree of Indian Blood) cards.The
United States Government evades responsibility for the making and un-making of
Indians by saying that Blood Quantum is “Tribally Determined” from the Base
Rolls established under the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act of the United States
Congress.These Base Rolls had to be
approved by the Secretary of the Interior—the Red Lake Base Rolls were approved
by the White man running the U.S. Department of the Interior on November 10,
1958.According to the I.R.A.
Constitutions, enrollment resolutions of the I.R.A. Councils, enrolling
anybody, also need to be approved by the White man, or “his duly authorized
representative.”A Federally Recognized
Indian becomes a ward of the U.S. Government, under U.S. Trusteeship.This means that Indians are automatically
defined as legally incompetent people who cannot own any land.If “Indian” was a real culture, they
wouldn’t have to teach Indian culture in school.
Kirkpatrick also writes, “the child of a full-blood Indian father and a
Euro-American mother may not be called Indian at all and may have no tribal
rights.Bizarre.”Kirkpatrick does not understand that
“full-blooded Indian” is not the same as having only Aboriginal Indigenous
ancestry.Ahnishinahbæótjibway
are patrilineal, and we are not “Indians.”The United States Government is legislating Indian inheritance through
the mother, which is a standard colonial tactic.In Ahnishinahbæótjibway tradition, a woman
marries into the Dodem of her husband, and her children are born into their
father’s Dodem.Euro-American culture
is also patrilineal—that’s why there are so many new last names on the Red Lake
Rolls.These are White men’s names, and
these people have been made into Indians under the White man’s colonial rules.HEALTH CARE:
Clinton is promoting a plan of “universal health care coverage,” under which
everybody in the United States will have access to health care.The President’s Surgeon General started talking
about preventative medicine, and everybody jumped all over her for threatening
the C.I.A.’s golden goose, the lucrative illegal drug trade.Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Clinton has said much
publicly about “prevention.”
What about the homeless and the unemployed?If a person is homeless and is sleeping under the bridge, and gets
pneumonia from exposure, or hypothermia, will he be eligible for health
care?If he’s admitted to the hospital
under Universal Health Care, he’ll get pumped full of antibiotics, and have a
warm place to sleep for a few nights.Then, when he’s cured, will he be sent back to live under the bridge,
and get pneumonia again?
What if a guy comes to the hospital with gunshot wounds, and he dies of lead
poisoning.It seems like the main kind
of “preventative medicine” that the White House is talking about, is blaming
abstracts and inanimate objects.I
suppose that the kind of solution that the Clintons would propose to stop this
kind of lead poisoning, would be to blame the lead bullets, and propose closing
down the lead mines.Then, so the lead
miners would not be put out of work, they’d solve the problem by creating a
bigger law enforcement bureaucracy, hiring more police and raising the tax on cigarettes
to pay for it.NUCLEAR WASTE:
The Chairman of the Mescalero Tribe, a good friend of Roger Jourdain’s, is
accepting nuclear waste, agreeing to a radioactive nuclear dumpsite on the
Apache Reservation.What thousands of
White Cavalry couldn’t do, it only takes one Indian Reorganization Act Tribal
Chairman to accomplish: killing both the Aboriginal Indigenous people and the
Mexican mestizos with radioactive poisons.Roger Jourdain is running for Tribal Chairman at Red Lake; the Indians
and the Wanna-Be’s will have Band elections in May.OLD INDIAN PLATITUDES:
People used to quote what they called an Old Indian Saying: “Don’t judge a
person until you’ve walked a mile in their moccasins.”I don’t hear this much, any more.Now, the new Indian Leaders, like Clyde and
Vernon Bellecourt, and Russell Means; and the 1934 I.R.A. Indian Leaders, like
Earl Barlow, Darrell Wadena, Butch Brun, Roger Jourdain, ad nauseam, are
wearing Florsheim shoes, and wouldn’t let you ride a mile in their Cadillac.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

Nation: On Monday, May 9, the Minneapolis StarTribune ran a front-page article
about the people they identify as the Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Tribe ... Native
American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: On Monday, May 9, the Minneapolis StarTribune ran a front-page
article about the people they identify as the Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Tribe
“buying back the land.”(Mention of the
[White] Cargill family buying up banks was limited to a paragraph buried in the
Business section of the same day’s paper—because under Euro-American democracy,
that’s how the system is supposed to work.)The Minneapolis staff writer Mike Kaszuba very carefully wrote the
article so that he avoided referring to the “Dakota Tribe” as Indians; although
the article says, “land bought by the tribe [is] placed in trust with the U.S.
Bureau of Indian Affairs.”This is
because the Shakopee Indians are wards of the U.S. Government under the unique
provisions of the U.S. Constitution.
Staff writer Kaszuba does not clarify which aspects of land title are being
purchased—is it what real estate books refer to as the entire “bundle of
rights?”Does it include eminent domain
for the so-called “Sovereign” Mdewakanton Dakota Tribe, and if so, why is the
land remaining under White jurisdiction, in the trusteeship of the United States
Government?He also does not write
about the future of this land.The
foundations of the present U.S. Indian policy were explicitly laid during the
1880’s and 1890’s, and many of the policy-making discussions were published in
the annual Commissioner’s Reports of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and in the
transcripts of the Lake Mohonk Friends of the Indians conferences.For example, on October 9, 1890, General
Whittlesey observed that: “These treaties are made with tribes.You have already signed the death warrant of
the tribal relation [and when] the tribe has gone, the party of the second part
no longer exists”—and the so-called sacred Indian Treaties are no longer
binding upon the United States, which then presumes clear title to the land,
under imported Roman Law.The means of
“disestablishing” the second party to the treaties might have changed, but the
intent has not.
What happens to the land, held under U.S. trusteeship for the Federally
Recognized Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota, when this small group of peoples’
children and grandchildren lose their Federally Recognized blood quantum?The Shakopee Mdewakanton are gambling with
the White man’s system of blood quantum, which is mathematically unsound.Then, they are gambling again, with the
United States Constitution’s provisions for “Indians not taxed,” meaning that
Indians cannot own any land and will not have any representation—and as you
well know, the deck is stacked in favor of the House.RIGGED ELECTIONS:
1934 I.R.A. colonial democracy rears its ugly head again.The Chairman-for-Life rubber-stamped a
Constitutional referendum preventing non-resident Red Lake Chippewa Indians
from running for offices in the I.R.A. Tribal Council.While the Dictator-for-Life, a City of
Bemidji resident, was still Federally Recognized as Chairman, this was not a
problem.After Federal Recognition was
bestowed upon his cousin, what the Chairman-for-Life should have done, is
pressed for a Constitutional Referendum changing the rules that he played a
role in enacting.But, Democracy
backfired, and now the Chip-away Chairman-for-Life is formally classified as an
“outsider” under his own rules.The
B.I.A. may have proposed these rules, and the B.I.A.’s in-house Philadelphia
Lawyer may have written an airtight amendment to the 1934 I.R.A. Constitution under
which it is impossible to be honest, but the Chairman-for-life agreed to
them.It’s an odd kind of democracy,
where absentee ballots from “non-resident voters” (some of whom have been
underground for many years) have decided many elections, but where these same
people whose votes are the deciding factor, cannot run for office
themselves.The Underground
Constituency is also informally prevented from running for office, although
their votes are often crucial.
In the last few days of this unique Colonial Democratic Process, the Candidates
are everywhere, listening to everybody.They shake hands every four years, and if elected, we won’t see them
until the next election campaign.Some
of these guys who are running for office are talking like they can perform
miracles.One Wanna-Be Tribal
Councilman answered a complaint about the Red Lakes being fished out, by
promising “more fish, a federal subsidy for every fisherman, and Payment.”I said, “how the hell can you do that?”He said, “I’ll promise them anything.That’s politics—and those Indians are so
dumb, they don’t know, anyway.”No
wonder John Collier wrote that his Indians politicians have a “White-plus
psychology.”The crooked White
politicians are pikers compared to some of these I.R.A. Indians.
This is the last issue of this newspaper before the election.As I gaze into my crystal ball, I would like
to make some predictions.I’ll make two
of them:One, that Bobby Whitefeather
will be the new Chip-away Tribal Chairman.And, second, that Gus Strong will be the next Chip-away Tribal
Treasurer.Happy Colonial Democracy to
all you Blood-Quantum Indians!NOXIOUS WEEDS:
The State of Minnesota has not created enough ecological mayhem as it is,
destroying the forests, killing the wildlife, and polluting the water.The legislature is running rampant, and has
passed state laws mandating the spraying of poisonous chemicals on plants they
call “weeds.”They are using the prolific
imported plant, purple loosestrife, which was an immigrant plant which was
intentionally planted by European “landscrapers,” as the justification for
killing ecologically and medicinally valuable plants—and then putting liens
against the land to pay for this destruction.
The Euro-Americans came from a devastated land that had been ravaged by
hundreds of years of Imperial Roman and other Indo-European wars—and they have
not understood how the ecology worked since they got here.Because the English language is so detached
from reality, they haven’t a clue that the living beings that they call “weeds”
are a part of the ecosystem.
I have several plants that Beltrami County has on their “noxious weed” hit list
growing in my yard.These plants are
food for the wildlife (and people), nourish the soil, and provide healing
medicines.
The arrogant Euro-Americans have destroyed the passenger pigeons, cut down the
forests, decimated the fish, and polluted the lakes.Now, they want to kill the only beings that can live in the
ravaged, toxified ecosystem that they have created—and justify themselves by
calling them “noxious weeds.”

News.
Abstract: On page 4 of the December 24 Native American Press/Ojibway News,
there was an unsigned letter to the Editor complaining about a
“NON-MEMBER.”When I was growing up at
Red Lake, people referred to other people who were not from Red Lake, as
“Outsiders,” and many people (mostly “Outsiders” themselves) still use this
term.But, Reservation English seems to
be on shaky ground, and now some Wanna-Be’s are using the term
“Non-Member.”The meaning of these two
words is different, though.Most of the
people who are defined as “Members” by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, are
“outsiders” who are also not Anishinabe Ojibway—of Red Lake or anywhere else.I am no longer enrolled as a “Member”
of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians; because I am not an Indian.I took my own identity back, and let the
definers of Indians play with their own Members.The Chippewa Indians are a group of Indo-European Settlers who
are not Anishinabe Ojibway, who were put onto this land by another group of
people who are, guess what, “Non-Members” and “Outsiders.”Specifically, the people who put the
Chippewa Indians onto Red Lake were the White Members of the United States
Congress, working through the White Members of the Minnesota Chippewa
Commission.I resigned from the U.S.
Government Rolls of “Members” of Chippewa Indians, because I refuse to be part
of the dishonest and racist scheme of making Wanna-Be Indian “Members,” which
is done by “Outsiders.”
Before Big Indian Members start crying about “Non-Members,” they had better
take a good look at who they are, and what they’re asking for.
Who’s the head of the Beltrami County Welfare Department, and who pays the
taxes that pay for Welfare?They’re
“Non-Members.”Who’s the head of the Forestry
Services?Bud Anderson, an “Outsider”
and a “Non-Member.”He’s only following
orders written in Washington, D.C. by “Non-Members,” to destroy the whole
ecosystem at Red Lake.
Who are the school-teachers here, and who certified these teachers and gives
them jobs in the schools at Red Lake?“Non-Members.”Who pays them?It’s not Indians.
What about you Chippewa Indians’ court system?Indian Law is imported English Law and Roman Law, defined by White
Members of Congress.The Chippewa
Courts were put in here and paid for by “Non-Members,” who define Chippewas as
“Indians” and non-persons.
The Police and the Law Enforcement used by the United States Government at Red
Lake was illegally brought in here by people who the anonymous “Member” would
define as “Non-Members.”
The 1934 Indian Reorganization Act created the Indian Chippewa Tribal Council,
by Act of United States Congress, whose White Members are “Outsiders.”
Federal Recognition is given to the I.R.A. Tribal Council by the Great White
Father, who is a “Member.”
What about your hierarchical Chippewa language?Bishop Baraga, an Outsider and a “Non-Member,” took a pidgin Creole
language spoken by French Voyageurs, and created a language for Chippewa
Indians.The Chippewa language which
Clergy Member Baraga gave Indians is worthless language, and wasn’t even used
it in the Treaties which the ancestors of Chippewa Members signed to sell my
Peoples’ Anishinabe Ojibway land.
What about the Indian Sovereignty that you Chippewa “Members” claim?It was given to you by “Non-Members.”The only reason that “Indian Tribal
Sovereignty” was given to Chippewa Outsiders who are now calling themselves
“Members,” is so that the United States Government, which invented this Indian
Sovereignty, could protect themselves against violations of their Nepotism
regulations.If you very carefully read
the 1958 Chippewa Indian Constitution that “Non-Members” wrote for you, you
will find out that this is just about all that “Indian Sovereignty” is good
for.
What about the Indian Settlers’ housing which you ungrateful Indian “Members”
and carpet-baggers live in?It was
given to you by “Non-Members,” and you should be thankful you have a roof over
your head and Indian Rations called Commodities on your table.
What about the land that you Chippewa Indians claim?It’s all held by “Outsiders.”If you don’t believe me, go look at the land records in the County
Courthouse.The land title to what is
alleged to be Chippewa Indian land is held by the United States Government.
Who gives you funding to run all of the Indian programs?You guessed it—“Non-Members.”
The Chippewa Indian “Members” never had it so good.I don’t know what they’re complaining about: they don’t have to
think for themselves; they don’t have to learn job skills to compete in the
“outside” labor market; they don’t have to learn English, and all the Math they
have to learn is enough to figure out how big a “Member” they are according to
Indian Blood Quantum.Under Sacred
Indian Trusteeship, Outsiders and Non-Members define you “Member” Chippewa
Indians as Legally Incompetent Wards of the U.S. Government.You don’t even have to worry about voting in
elections: the United States will vote for you Chippewa “Members” by proxy, to
make sure you vote the right way.
Who gave you Chippewa “Members” the identity of Indian?Outsiders and “Non-Members” are the definers
the racist, demeaning stereotypes you self-important “Members” try to act out
as an Indian.
Psychiatrist Thomas Szasz explains who a definer and labeller is: “Definers
(that is, persons who insist on defining others) are like pathogenic
microorganisms: each invades, parasitizes, and often destroys his victim; and,
in each case, those whose resistance is low are the most susceptible to
attack.Hence, those whose
immunological defenses are weak are most likely to contract infectious
diseases; and those whose social defenses are weak—that is, the young and the
old, the sick and the poor, and so forth—are the most likely to contract
invidious definitions of themselves. ... In short, he who first seizes the word
imposes reality on the other: he who defines thus dominates and lives; and he
who is defined is subjugated and may be killed.”
The anonymous letter-writer who is complaining about “Non-Members” should find
out what he/she is really writing about, before they write letters as a
“Member.”The first definition of this
word, in Webster’s Dictionary, is “a human or animal ... penis.”The translation of “Member” in the
hierarchical Chippewa Creole language is “Pa-jog.”Bill Lawrence publishes a respectable newspaper, but the
anonymous letter-writer is the one who brought “Members” up.
To all of you Chippewa “Members,” and all of you non-Indian Members who define
their time by imported European calendars, Happy New Year; and not
discriminating against you ladies, Happy New Year to you, also.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

= (a.k.a. Francis Blake, Jr. (1993). Reflections from the Anishinabe Ojibway
Nation: On September 21, 1863, Governor Alexander Ramsey came to the “Old
Crossing” of the Red Lake River ... Ojibwe News.
Abstract: On September 21, 1863, Governor Alexander Ramsey came to the “Old
Crossing” of the Red Lake River, which was on one of the main fur trade routes
for the “Red River Oxcarts.”The next
day, according to Governor Ramsey and Indian Trader Ashley Morrill’s official
journal [which the U.S. Government hid for more than a century as “classified
information”], the French Pembina Métis arrived, along with Hole-in-the-Day and
a number of professional Indian treaty-signers.On September 23, Governor Ramsey gave a speech which opened
negotiations for what was presented as a right-of-way for a road across the Red
Lake Anishinabe Ojibway Nation.After
talking about the advantages of trade, Ramsey said, “Now, this is a trade which
cannot ... be interrupted.And their
Great Father, feeling this, and desirous to prevent any trouble between his
white and red people, has sent us here to come to some understanding with you
about it.The Great Father has no especial
desire to get possession of their lands.He does not want their lands if they do not want to part with them.He has [stolen] more land now than he knows
what to do with.He simply wishes that
his people should enjoy the privilege of travelling through their country on
steamboats and wagons unmolested.”Ramsey had unsuccessfully tried before to get the Red Lake Anishinabe
Ojibway to sell our land, and his talk about “right-of-way” was fraudulently
misrepresenting his purposes.
In 1863, the Anishinabe Ojibway people did not speak English.The Pembinas and the Chippewas spoke French
and Chippewa Creole—they did not understand English either.After one of his failures at “Treaty-Making”
in 1849, Alexander Ramsey had made certain that the people he dealt with the
next time would be unable to speak English. In 1852, he issued an executive
order abolishing the teaching of reading, writing, and English to both the
Anishinabe Ojibway and the “Indians.”In both the brainwashing institutions known as U.S. Government Schools,
and in the Missionary’s schools, the curriculum was “manual labor.”
What began as an alleged right-of-way negotiation was taken up to Washington,
D.C., where it was re-written as a boilerplate land cession “Treaty” stealing
about eleven million acres.The
language of the “Treaty” is standard Government Issue “Indian Treaty.”The people who actually agreed to the land
“cessions” and payment to the fur traders in the “Treaty” were not the Red Lake
Anishinabe Ojibway, and were not indigenous to this Continent.Two of the people who allegedly agreed with
“X-marks” as a “Pembina Warriors” actually used their French names—Joseph
Gornon and Joseph Montreuil.Another,
who the U.S. Government appointed as a “Red Lake Indian Chief,” was a Frenchman
named Racine (related to the Beaulieu’s) who used the name
Kah-nun-dah-wah-wenzo as a professional Treaty-signer who also helped “sell”
land at the “Treaties” of Sandy Lake, Gull Lake, and Boise Fort.All of those who assented to this fraudulent
“Treaty” were European subject people who had no claim to this Anishinabe
Ojibway land.
As crooked as Ramsey’s original “Treaty” was, it wasn’t crooked enough for the
U.S. Senate, who took the 1863 “Treaty” and amended it in New York so that more
land could be alienated with the use of “Halfbreed Scrip.”One of the so-called “Red Lake Indian
Chiefs” who was taken East to agree to the Amendments died of the “persuasion”
he was given.The sacred drug of the
White Men (rotgut whiskey) was used by the U.S. Government as standard
procedure to procure “agreement” to “Indian Treaties.”As the widow of another victim of deadly
Eastern Treaty persuasion said over the body of her husband, “I told you not to
touch that thing (whiskey) which has killed so many of our people.Had you paid attention to my warning you
would not be where now you are.”This
European ritual still persists to this day—for example weekend binge drinking.The Ancient Indo-European Tradition of
Bacchus (the Greek and Roman God of mus-zhah-way and mish-kwe-bee) dies hard
and painfully.
On March 3, 1871, the United States Congress abolished Indian
Treaty-Making.It was reasonable that
they abolished it unilaterally, because they had always owned both sides of the
“Indian Treaties.”Lo and behold, the
snake-oil salesmen came up with new schemes, which depended on a unilateral
assumption of a fiction they called the “Sacred Trust Responsibility,” based on
imported European law, racism, and alleged “eminent domain” derived from the
violent Judeo-Christian God.In 1885,
the scheme-of-the-year was another tax, which they called “stumpage.”The United States Government used “timber
thieves” (from whom they collected “stumpage” tax) as an excuse for “official”
theft of Anishinabe Ojibway timber.This particular chapter of ecological mayhem was officially known H.R.
4384, with which the 48th U.S. Congress replaced H.R. 846.
If you look at reality instead of the words which obscure the truth, the only
thing that’s changed in the last 107 years is that there aren’t very many trees
left—and as a direct result of the destruction of the Anishinabe Ojibway forest
ecosystem, the lakes are dying, and the rivers are rampaging.The immigrant European hocus-pocus (called
in Crooked English “scientific forest management”) and their mentality of greed
is making this land a barren rock like Europe.What good is “making money” if your children get washed away by floods,
poisoned by pollution, mutated by radiation, or starve?Academic “forest management” has nothing to
do with forests—it’s corporate tree farming run by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, and conveys no understanding about what a forest is really
about.In the interest of honesty, the
United States Forest Service should be renamed the “European Plunderers and
Tree Farmers [in the back pocket of resource corporations].”If you put most of the “forestry professors”
out in the woods, they’d get lost.Many
of them have never even seen a real forest. The abstract curriculum teaches the
Europeans and their Indians that they are somehow separated from Nature, that
they can exploitively “manage” Grandmother Earth, and that kind of perverted
theoretical thinking has very real consequences.You will not be able to continue burying your head in the sand
with your abstract thought.The time
will come when you European immigrants have “intelligently” and
“scientifically” stripped away the buffers of Mother Nature, and will have to
come to terms with the reality that you cannot buy, sell, or “own” Grandmother
Earth, nor destroy Mother Nature.What
you call “America” here is not for sale, and never has been.Your European “land title” is a
self-destructive delusion.
Seventeen years after “Indian Treaty-Making” had become illegal, who should
come back to Red Lake, deranged with the mental illness of greed, but another
Treaty Commission.The 1889 Minnesota
Chippewa Commission slithered around the boundaries of crooked Congressional
statutes by writing that they were “ratifying an agreement,” although they told
the people in Red Lake that they were making a “Treaty.”The descendants of the foreigners who were
packed onto Red Lake Anishinabe Ojibway land under the “provisions of the Act
of January 14, 1889,” including Indian Reorganization Act Chairmen Roger
Jourdain and Butch Brun, celebrate the thievery of most of the Red Lake
Anishinabe Ojibway land and resources with pomp, ceremony, fanfare, speeches,
and Wanna-be singing and dancing, every Fourth of July, and both they and the
Minnesota D.N.R. call it the “1889 Treaty.”The Anishinabe Ojibway call it the Grand Land Theft—and Genocide.More than two thousand, five hundred
documented Red Lake Anishinabe Ojibway people “disappeared” in the twenty-five
years between the 1863 “Treaty” and the 1889 “repopulation” by the French
Minnesota Chippewas.These more than
2,500 genocide victims were most of the remaining survivors of the Europeans’
earlier Holocaust which annihilated more than one and a half million
(1,500,000) Red Lake Anishinabe Ojibway.When I write, “complicity in genocide,” I mean exactly that.
We, the surviving Anishinabe Ojibway have an inalienable right to exist as a
Sovereign People on our own land.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

Nation: On Sunday and Monday, staff writer Pat Doyle published a two-part
series on the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the Minneapolis Star Tribune. ... Native
American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: On Sunday and Monday, staff writer Pat Doyle published a two-part
series on the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the Minneapolis Star Tribune.In his article, he quotes B.I.A.
Commissioner Ada Deer, “It’s always easy to talk about phasing out the bad old
BIA.”In the late 1950’s, Ada Deer was
in the forefront of the termination movement for the Menominee Indians in
Wisconsin.After White Friends of the
Bureau got choice pieces of lakeshore real estate and pine timberlands, then
Ada Deer was recognized as an Indian Leader in the re-instatement of the
Menominees under B.I.A. trusteeship.
According to Pat Doyle, “BIA employees have allowed some tribal leaders to
squander money or violate the rights of their members.”(Easily embezzled money and
sado-masochistically satisfying abusive relationships are among the “perks”
used by the B.I.A. to control their Indians.)Since the U.S. Congress passed the Indian Self-Determination Act, the
1934 Indian Reorganization Act tribal “leaders” have become representatives of
what the U.S. Congress describes as a “federal instrumentality.”Under Trusteeship, the so-called Indian
Tribal Leaders are simultaneously wards of the U.S. Government, and working for
the U.S. Government in carrying out U.S. policy, which has never changed from
genocide of Aboriginal Indigenous people, and eventual termination of
“Indians.”Under the present B.I.A.
blood-quantum guidelines, there will be no more Federally Recognized Indians
born after the year 2020.Between the
lines in Pat Doyle’s article, it looks it’s going to be sooner—and “Indian
factions” are going to get the blame.
Pat Doyle also quotes Senator Paul Wellstone, who sits on the Senate Committee
on Indian Affairs, “The tribal leadership has been the most visible and vocal
constituency.”
According to Pat Doyle’s article, “on the White Earth Chippewa Reservation,
when the opponents of the Tribal Chairman called the BIA to investigate
election fraud, the agency said it lacked jurisdiction.”This is convenient for the Bureau of Indian
Affairs, which under Trusteeship has control over Indians as wards of the
Government.The ballots cast by Indians
have no relationship to outcome of the elections, the winners of which can be—and
have been—determined by the B.I.A. by proxy vote before the general elections
have ever been held.Star Tribune
writer Pat Doyle describes the B.I.A.’s Ada Deer as “a former tribal leader
[who] shows little sympathy with dissidents, saying they often cry foul because
‘their person didn’t get elected.’”Super-Squaw is saying, out of one side of her mouth, that she is going
to shake up the Bureau.The woman who
helped terminate the Menominees speaks with forked tongue, and is saying she
isn’t going to do anything.Out of the
other side of her mouth, she is quoted by Pat Doyle as saying that she only
wants to hear one side of the story, and that’s the one from the Indian Leaders
in the in-group.She totally disregards
the grassroots, and the Indians in the red ghettos, who have no representation
and who do not get any services.According to my crystal ball, all of you dissidents, malcontents,
protesters and sore losers who are going to go around getting petitions signed
after the elections—forget it.Save
your energy for something constructive.
Ada Deer is quoted by Pat Doyle as saying, “we all know that many of these
treaties were not honored, but the moral obligation still remains.”Under the founding documents of the United
States including the U.S. Constitution, “Indians not taxed” cannot own land,
and have neither Constitutional protections nor representation in
Congress.The purpose of the Indian
Treaties was to use the Indians to steal the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’
land under capitalist Manifest Destiny, and redistribute this plunder to the
White invaders—isn’t that socialism?I
fail to see the “moral obligation” in documents of criminal design.Ada Deer, as long as she remains a Federally
Recognized Indian, is a ward of the Government under P.O.W. trusteeship.How can she “shake up the BIA” when, under
trusteeship, the B.I.A. owns her.
Former B.I.A. Commissioner Ross Swimmer, who had some Cherokee ancestry,
suggested terminating the Bureau of Indian Affairs, which implied that the Indians
would no longer be under the jurisdiction of Chief Jim Crow and his Squaw
A-par-theid.The problems that Indians
have are embedded in the U.S. Declaration of Independence and the United States
Constitution.There needs to be a
Constitutional Amendment, so that Indians can take their rightful place as
human beings in society, rather than being used as political hockey-pucks and
scapegoats—or as a buffer and a smokescreen hiding Aboriginal Indigenous
people.
U.S. President Clinton is criticizing China for that Nation’s human rights
violations.Instead of being piously
self-righteous, he had better take a good hard look at his own back yard.The Euro-Americans seem to have a very short
memory—the United States needs to come to terms with its own genocidal history
and its present relationship to the Aboriginal Indigenous people whose land
they are on, before they start telling somebody else what to do.The Minneapolis Police Department, and other
urban police departments, continue to use people that they categorize as
“Indians” as punching bags, brutalizing and abusing them.One mild example of these human rights
violations is putting Indians in the trunks of squad cars.Where are the Indian leaders who are
supposed to be standing up for the people?Not one Indian leader stood up and protested to the City of Minneapolis,
or the Federal Agencies which are funding the Minneapolis Police Department,
and protested this and many other human rights violations.The Indian Leaders are off worrying about
the Washington Redskins, and other non-essential trivia.They are puppets whose strings are tightly
controlled by the White man, living in a Mickey-Mouse fantasy of pow-wow’s and
turkey feathers.REAL INDIAN LEADERSHIP:
In the Ojibwe News/Native American Press, there has been a concerted
letter-writing campaign against the brotherly Indian Leadership of the
“Broncos” who supposedly run A.I.M.According to the paper, there is going to be a Tribunal in San
Francisco, investigating charges against these two Indian leaders.I don’t know why most of the other Indian
leaders aren’t also being called before the Tribunal—many of the other Real
Wanna-Be Indians are just as bad as the Bellecourts (including Roger Jourdain,
“Butch” Brun, “Chip” Wadena, Earl Barlow and Ada Deer).As the former Red Lake Tribal
Chairman-for-Life used to say, “these crooks ought to be in jail!”Rather than getting lost in the details of
individuals, the Tribunal should be investigating what outside organizations
are appointing and funding Indian Leadership.If the Tribunal made some telephone calls to the people who are funding
renegade Indian leaders, and requested that the funding be cut off, it would no
longer be lucrative for these people to run around in the media promoting
themselves as Great Indian Leaders.One
of the priorities of this Tribunal should be researching the genealogies of
these Indian leaders.Some of them are
100% European frauds, and every one of them goes back to Europe on the
patriline, and if they have any Aboriginal Indigenous ancestry, it’s back in
the 1600’s or 1700’s, on the female lines.If a mosquito were to bite most of these Indian leaders, the Government
would have to take away their plastic laminated Indian cards, and withdraw
their Federally Recognized Indian status, saving the taxpayers millions of
dollars.WHITE INDIANS:
The Sovereign Chippewa Red Lake “Tribal Elections” will be held under the
supervision of the United States Government, 1934 Indian Reorganization Act and
Department of Interior regulations in May.The rumor is that present Chippewa Indian Chairman “Butch” Brun looks
too much like an White man (which he is), for the show-and-tell of parading
Indians around Washington, and so, according to the rumor, he is going to be
replaced in the upcoming election.The
likely candidate is a “Fullblood” Red Lake Chippewa Indian on the books, who
has French ancestry on the patriline but is dark enough to look like a Real
Indian, and has an “Indian” sounding surname out of Wisconsin.He speaks fluent Chippewa, which is a
hierarchical European Trade Creole language.He has curly hair, and he definitely has a Mediterranean tan, just like
Roger Jourdain—who is his first cousin once removed.This “Indian election” is more French feudalism.

Nation: On Sunday, the Bemidji Pioneer headlined their in-house editorial,
"New Credibility for BIA with Deer appointment." ... Ojibwe News.
Abstract: On Sunday, the Bemidji Pioneer headlined their in-house editorial,
“New Credibility for BIA with Deer appointment.”They wrote, “the B.I.A. has long been mistrusted by Indians and
tribal governments alike.”That’s
putting it mildly, and only refers to the European “Indians.”The Bemidji Pioneer made no reference to the
Aboriginal Indigenous People whose land and resources are being ripped off
under the auspices of the Bureau of White Indian Affairs.
The anonymous editorial writer commented that a “breath of fresh air is needed
in the B.I.A.”It needs more than fresh
air—it’s more like hot air.“Indian”
government is by definition apartheid, and the very people who are supposed to
be representing their “constituents” are busy plundering, for example all of
the I.R.A. “Tribal Chairmen,” who former B.I.A. Commissioner John Collier
described as having a “white-plus psychology.”The problem is not the moral integrity of the particular individual in
office—the real problem is the nature of the institutions: “resource”
Corporation lobbyists, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian
Reorganization Act “Tribal Councils” they control.A “breath of fresh air” won’t do anything to improve the pigsty
of special interests slopping at what they claim as a W.A.S.P.’s public trough,
or an upper-income Welfare Trough.Just
exactly who is on “welfare” here?There
needs to be honest and sincere dialogue about “welfare reform.”
The analogy of the Bureau of Indian Affairs is the “fox guarding the chicken
coop.”Putting Ada Deer as Commissioner
is like a turkey lobbying for, or against, Thanksgiving day—either way, your
goose is cooked.The more things change,
the more they remain the same, and it’s business as usual.It doesn’t matter who is appointed as
Commissioner of Indian Affairs.I’m old
enough to remember the termination of the Menominees, and who was at the
forefront of that termination.I also
remember the hoop-la that heralded several other fine people who were appointed
as Commissioner, which, as former Indian Commissioner Lewis Bruce told me, is
the ultimate job as cosmetically correct “token Indian.”
The Bemidji Pioneer quotes Ada Deer as saying that “90 percent of [Bureau]
employees are Indians.”If you add up
the actual ancestry of all of the Bureau of Indian Affairs employees put
together, you would get 99 percent European or African ancestry.Maybe one percent of the ancestors of the
Bureau’s “Indians” were at one time Aboriginal Indigenous People of this
Continent—and probably none at all on the patriline.Blood runs thicker than water.As I gaze into my crystal ball, at the Department of the Interior, the
Bureau of Indian Affairs, and their Tribal Councils, I see nothing but crooks
and rip-off artists, and business as usual.Nothing will change.
I’ve been watching this a long time.Peoples’ hopes are always raised by promises of a “New Dawn in
American,” but the same old scams go on, and on, with only minor variations on
the same old thieving theme.If there
is going to be real change, it has to come from socially aware grass
roots.Change will never come from the
Euro-American élite at the top—the problems are designed to entrench the
hierarchy as it has evolved over the centuries.All you have to do is look at the ecosystem here to see concrete
evidence of immigrant European values.Quit blaming “Acts of God” for the consequences of your own greed.That makes as much sense as blaming the
Corps of Engineers for fact that the Mississippi River floodplain is under
water, which has always been a natural state of affairs for a floodplain.Sending the U.S. Army on a campaign against
Mother Nature and Grandmother Earth is just plain dumm.CROOKED TREATIES:The Minnesota
lawmakers are scapegoating their own blood brothers.According to the a Sunday article in the Minneapolis StarTribune,
the Minnesota legislators are “angry” at the Indians.The rip-off “Treaty settlement” did not go as planned.If you state lawmakers had done your
homework, you would know that the U.S. Congress passed a law, on March 3, 1871,
saying that there would be no more treaty-making with Indians.If you want to make “treaties,” why don’t
you go to Congress, and get them to repeal this statute which abrogates the
“Indian Sovereignty” which never existed in the first place.The Aboriginal Indigenous People of this
Continent are not under the jurisdiction of the Euro-Americans, because they
are not “Indians.”We still have our
Sovereignty, whether the Europeans recognize it or not, and this is still our
land and our birthright.Aboriginal
Indigenous natural rights supersede any imported European or Euro-American law.
The Red Lake Chippewa Indians began celebrating the “1889 Treaty” during Roger
Jourdain’s I.R.A. administration.Butch
Brun continued celebrating this grand theft of more than three million
(3,000,000) acres of Anishinabe Ojibway land with a Métis and Wanna-Be
pow-wow.The reason that these Indian Tribal
Chairman are promoting this nefarious unilateral legislation mis-represented as
a “Treaty” is because their French Métis ancestors were packed on top of the
Red Lake Anishinabe Ojibway people under the crooked provisions of the 1889
Minnesota Chippewa Commission.There
is no “1889 Treaty.”
The provisions of the unethical Act of January 14, 1889, under imported
European “democracy,” did not require the consent of the Anishinabe Ojibway at
Red Lake for the U.S. Government to unilaterally claim alienation of our
land.The Red Lake Anishinabe Ojibway
also did not sign the 1863 Treaty or the 1864 Amendment.We couldn’t sign it, we cannot sell it, and
we cannot give it away.It is
sacrilegious, under the ancient Midewiwin religion, to sell Grandmother Earth,
and it is sacrilegious for someone to steal it or wreck the ecosystem on our
land.It’s about time that the people
who claim to be “United States Citizens” confront the reality that the
Europeans’ alleged claim to the land on this Continent has very clouded title.TAXES:In Crooked English,
“stumpage” is an euphemism for “taxes.”The Indians who are cutting down the Anishinabe Ojibway forests are
paying taxes called “stumpage.”If
these trees actually belonged to the “Indians” who are running big logging
operations and destroying the ecosystem and the fishing grounds, they wouldn’t
need to pay “stumpage.”(They also
wouldn’t be wrecking everything like there wasn’t any tomorrow.)Under the crooked Trust, the United States
Government is fraudulently claiming the trees, and they are claiming your
“Indian” identity, and that’s why you Wanna-Be Indians pay “stumpage” taxes to
the United States Government.FOREST PRODUCTS: Paper.To all
you Civil Rights promoters who interpret “freedom of the press” as deciding
what somebody else can and cannot read, especially the ones who stole free
newspapers, you will notice that this newspaper is not free anymore.It costs fifty cents.What we need is a hotline, Turn In Paper
Thieves, especially the ones who are self righteous self-proclaimed guardians
of the First Amendment.What the Press
needs to do is apply the Fourth Amendment to get our papers back.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

Abstract: One hundred and twenty two years after the United States Congress
unilaterally decided that Indian Tribes no longer existed and abolished the
Treaty-making process, the U.S. and the State of Minnesota are still living in
a nostalgic dream of the mythological frontier—the good old days of Cowboys and
Indians, Cavalry and Covered Wagons.The Fed’s Indians and the State of Minnesota are going at it, battling
over who has the right to hunt and fish wildlife that was massacred at about
the same time as the Last Treaty was signed.Most of the fish and game are extinct, and the Indians never existed as
a race of Aboriginal Indigenous People.Rather than foolishly wasting taxpayers’ money on legal fees and shyster
lawyers, the Wanna-Be Indians need to make a backroom deal with the State of
Minnesota to bring in the Movie Moguls, and make Heap Big Bucks from
Hollywood’s celluloid version of their amazing delusions.
Under Public Law 280, the State has jurisdiction over Indian fish and game, and
can put their Indians in state prisons for violations of State hunting and
fishing regulations.Now, some of the
many Big Chiefs in Washington D.C. want to take their Indians back under
Trusteeship, which means that Indian violators of Federal fish and game
regulations will go to Federal Prison.The Federal and State Indian Givers are flipping an extinct coin, the
Buffalo Nickel, and giving their Indians the terms, “heads I win, tails you
lose.”
The Indians may not realize the full implications of the Sacred Trusteeship
that they tout in the media.They might
as well be homeless and under house arrest—under Trusteeship the Indians do not
own any land and they do not own their alleged Sovereignty, either.The Secretary of the Interior pimps for
multi-national resource corporations on all so-called “public land”: land
claimed by the Bureau of Land Management, the National Forest Service, and
Indian Reservations.The Wanna-Be
Indians are acting in complicity with the U.S., as a scapegoat for exploitive
resource and land management on Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ property, which
the U.S. Government is using “Indians” to claim.The concept of “Indian Sovereignty,” so casually tossed about in
the media, is a legal fiction created by the Euro-American immigrants, which
insulates the office of the Secretary of the Interior from public scrutiny, but
has absolutely nothing to do with the inalienable Sovereignty, Natural Rights,
and hunting and fishing rights of the Aboriginal Indigenous People of this
Continent.
As Mr. Austin Abbott bluntly told the Fourth session of the 1890 Lake Mohonk
Conference, “These treaties are made with tribes.You have already signed the death warrant of the tribal relation
in disestablishing the reservation system: and, when the reservation has gone,
the tribe has gone.The party of the
second part no longer exists.”1934
I.R.A. reservation land, with the Title owned by the United States Government,
means that the Indians don’t own anything.The way that the I.R.A. Constitutions were written, the Indians’ don’t
even own the corrupt legal fictions the Department of the Interior calls Indian
Tribal Governments.MORE STEALING: In the Saturday,
December 18th Minneapolis Star Tribune, the headline on page one read, “TRIBAL
CASINOS WASTED MILLIONS, AUDITORS SAYThey overspent on management, machines.” Where is Earl Barlow, who was
paid in advance with Casino vouchers to be the fall guy and scapegoat when
allegations of mismanagement and inept B.I.A. supervision inevitably hit the
media.John Collier, of the Indian
Reorganization Act, is quoted as saying that these Indians have a “White-plus
psychology,” just like the rest of the White politicians, but more so.MORE STEALING:Mary Head was
accused of embezzling from the Gilfillan Center in Bemidji, and Shirley McNeal
was convicted of embezzling and got a slap on the wrist, sentenced to two years
probation and a restitution of $4,500.MORE STEALING:Zoe Baird
relinquished her nomination to the U.S. Cabinet because she was caught not
paying social security taxes for illegal aliens who worked in her house.High-ranking C.I.A. man and Secretary of
Defense nominee Bobby Ray Inman has grudgingly and belatedly paid back social
security taxes for his immigrant household servants.REINVENTING GOVERNMENT: Al Gore was going to fix (or un-fix) government,
but the United States Government has ratified NAFTA with the support of Mexican
President-for-Life Bob Dole.So, if you
don’t have enough money to finish your Christmas shopping, you’ll have to
notify Santa Claus, who has moved from the North Pole to Mexico along with most
other employers benefitting from the NAFTA deal.He doesn’t sing “Ho! Ho! Ho!” as he flies a sleigh drawn by
reindeer.Since there isn’t any snow
south of the border, he isn’t singing.Santa just says, “¡Sí, Señor!” as he makes his rounds in a two-wheel
cart drawn by burros.Hey, kids, if
you’re waiting up for Santa Claus this year, watch for him coming from the
direction of the South Pole, and if you see him, you can ask Santa Claus to
help the unemployed to find jobs, and help the homeless find homes.PAGANISM: The Christians are busy with their annual celebrations of the
birth of Jesus Christ.According to the
American Airlines Flight Magazine, “a number of holdovers from Paganism have
been woven into the Christmas Celebration.Among them:
Gift-Giving: While Christmas gift-giving is often linked to the gifts of the
Magi, the Romans, Egyptians, and others gave gifts to mark their year’s end,
winter solstice, and the New Year’s festivals.
Christmas Carols: Early Christmas carols in the vernacular (as opposed to
sacred music in Latin) grew out of often ribald pagan songs.Followers of St. Assisi (born 1182, died
1226) adapted the songs to religious subjects.
Christmas Greenery: Evergreens symbolize the ever-renewing Christian faith at
Christmas, but many ancient cultures gave greenery as presents and used it as
decoration at their year-end festivals.”
Indian religion, which is really Christianity, is being re-legislated by the
United States Congress to gain jurisdiction over—and possession of—Aboriginal
Indigenous Peoples’ artifacts.Indian
religion is a cult which was intended to replace Aboriginal Indigenous
religions, and it has nothing to do with the Anishinabe Ojibway Midé.My religion, the Midé is still underground,
still being persecuted by the invading practitioners of Christianity and the
Indian Religion.But, from this
Anishinabe Ojibway of the Midé, and from my family the Dodem of Ma-kwa, who
have been stereotyped and labelled as Pagans, we wish you Seasons Greetings,
Happy Holidays, and a Merry X-Mas.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

To the readers who’ve been calling in, wondering what happened to my
column:I’m sorry, I’ve been
overwhelmed with the work involved in finishing a book.According to the publisher, it should be out
in the next month or so.The book is
entitled, “We Have a Right to Exist.”After doing eight years of research into the history and the genealogy
of Red Lake, it’s finally getting ready to go to press!This the first book ever published from an
Anishinabe Ojibway perspective.I’ll
give you an advance sample from a section in which I address racism, from pages
16 and 17 (the page numbers are subject to change by the publisher):
“Dealing with personalities and individual racism will not solve the problems
of structural racism.Many “racist”
individuals are operating within the context of the institution that they
represent, and have no inkling of the racism that they convey.In order to deal with racism effectively, we
need to deal with the racist institutions that support the Euro-American
hierarchy, and with the underlying thought patterns that mold the
institutions.The courts, the police
departments, the I.R.S. and the schools are all racist institutions which
entrench the White value system and social hierarchy.In plain English, the W.A.S.P.s have a perpetual and eternal
monopoly on racism, the way their system is set up.
“European thinking is hierarchial thinking, and because of this, individual
racism is not the core problem, and until the European world view changes, the racism
built into their language and their culture will continue to be a problem.There were some particular incidents of
outright racial discrimination at the Minneapolis Alcoholics Anonymous, for
example a Mexican man with twenty years sobriety was passed over for staff
employment in favor of a White with only two or three years sobriety.This racism was inherent in the institution,
and it became clear that the established White A.A. could not address our
needs, and so we formed our own group.Our struggling for sobriety, and trying to solve the problems which
confronted us in both the Indian and Euro-American culture is what gave birth
to the American Indian Movement.
“The Métis and White Indians could not get away from the European values, and
so the American Indian Movement eventually also became a racist institution, as
have all of the other Indian organizations.The Minneapolis Indian grassroots organizations of the 1960’s and
1970’s: the Indian Center, the Indian Health Board, the Indian Neighborhood
Club on Alcohol and Drugs, the American Indian Movement, the Indian-run housing
programs, were designed and funded in the White hierarchial pattern, and all of
them eventually reverted into racist institutions which discriminated
particularly against the Aboriginal Indigenous People and other
non-Indians.The Aboriginal Indigenous
People pay taxes, and it is our own resources which underwrite the United
States dollar.We are paying for the
Federal Funding which subsidizes the transformation of grassroots organizations
into racist institutions.We are also
subsidizing Federal racist institutions with our land and resources, including
the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the Federally funded ‘social welfare services.’
“Using their old strategy of blaming the victim, Aboriginal Indigenous People
are publicly castigated for “being on welfare.”The Aboriginal Indigenous People have never been on welfare, and
as a matter of fact, it is the Europeans who have been on welfare since 1492,
living off of Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ property.We ask the immigrant Peoples the question,
‘why are you here, if you’re not on welfare?’In this day, Federal Dollars do deep damage, not only to Aboriginal
Indigenous People, but also to the unemployed, the homeless, and the
underprivileged in the White man’s hierarchy.Years ago, the Cavalry’s Federal bullets (also paid for with Aboriginal
Indigenous Peoples’ resources) were used to destroy us.Now, what is used is Federal Dollars.United States policy is to break up families,
using foster care, adoption, and the economic system.Federal dollars hurt more than Federal bullets—they do deep
psychological damage to people, and inflict a slow, painful death.Simultaneously, they entrench the
Euro-Americans’ racist social structure.”
The White value system, and why it reverts to racism, is explained in much
further detail in the book.The White
man says that the Indians live in two worlds, meaning that they have two value
systems, which is not true.The
Indians, because of their Indo-European patriline, are no different from their
White blood relatives, and have only one set of values, that of the immigrant
Europeans.
Indo-Europeans are always trying to say that they are “Federally Recognized
Indians,” figuring their heritage on the matriline.Hanging onto their mother’s skirts is what conquered people do,
and these self-proclaimed American Indians do not have a Dodem or a Clan and
they are not indigenous to this land.They may be “Indians,” but they are not Aboriginal Indigenous People,
whose heritage of identity is on the patriline, from the father’s people.Even the Bureau of Indian Affairs admits
this.In their ecocidal economic plan,
published in March, 1979 as The Red Lake Indian Reservation, It’s Resources
and Development Potential, by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of
the Interior, as Report No. 253—endorsed for the mythological Chippewa Indians
by a French Métis, Roger Jourdain, and an immigrant German farmer, Celestine
Maus, the Bureau writes that the Anishinabe Ojibway are “patrilineal and
divided by clans [Dodems] usually named after animals.”Also published in this book is the Bureau’s
diabolical scorched-earth total destruction of the ecosystem scheme, which is
apparently the blueprint being followed by the Red Lake Band of Chippewa
Indians, because this is not their land.This Indian and United States Government “economic development plan”
recommends deep degradation of our environment, noting for example on page 173
that their proposed rice paddies appear “to have contributed significant
amounts of dissolved solids and sulfates to the river ... [and] contributed
significant amounts of biochemical oxygen demand and oxygen deficient water to
the river system.Violations of the
agency standard ... seemingly occur.”The plan endorses blasting duck nesting sites “with ammonia nitrate” on
page 33, and recommends clearcut “land clearing” with [heavy-equipment]
mechanical shearing blades on pages 69-73 and 131, along with “machine
scalping” of the land, application of 2-4D, 2-4-5T and other poisons (page
135), and elimination of “mature stands (page 127),” meaning wholesale
destruction of balanced Anishinabe Ojibway forests, in order to make areas of
ecological devastation euphemistically called “tree farms.”The Bureau of Indian Affairs writes on page
126, “Despite conflicting opinions, stand conversion [i.e., demolishing
intact forests] will occur.”The White
planners also note on page v of the introduction that “such a program will
necessitate changes in certain activities and attitudes that may not be
entirely acceptable to tribal members [i.e. Anishinabe Ojibway
people].”It needs to be clearly
reiterated here that the B.I.A.’s Chippewa Indians are not the
Aboriginal Indigenous People of this land, and they are not the same people as
the Anishinabe Ojibway; and in fact that the Bureau’s in-group Indians expect
to make money from this ecological mayhem, and some of them already have.
According to my crystal ball, this insane plan is going to wreak immense
hardship not only on the Anishinabe Ojibway, who own this land—and who were not
consulted about the Bureau’s Hitler-mentality assault on our environment—it
will also have dire consequences for the White people, and the Indians, in the
surrounding ecosystem.The effects of
environmental devastation will hit all of you people.There are no political boundary lines when it comes to
destruction of the ecosystem.Why
bother with Ducks Unlimited if the United States Government is just going to
blow up their nests?Save your money
for a trip to Washington, to talk to your Senator about this criminal
madness.Maybe there are some people in
Washington who also need some butt-kicking to get their brains back in gear.
We, the surviving Anishinabe Ojibway have an inalienable right to exist as a
Sovereign People on our own land, without Wanna-be’s and pretenders officially
endorsing plans ruining land which does not belong to them.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

Nation: Rumor has it that Al Gore is reinventing government by cutting back on
bureaucracy ... Native American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: Rumor has it that Al Gore is reinventing government by cutting back
on bureaucracy, and, guess what, the cutbacks are hitting the Bureau of Indian
Affairs.The B.I.A. has always been a
pork-barrel political patronage organization and a dumping ground for political
hacks, filled with bureaucrats slopping at the public trough.
The 1934 Indian Reorganization Act, which was also known as the “Indian New
Deal,” is the legislation upon which Wanna-be-Chairman-for-Life Roger Jourdain
entrenched his Red Lake Chippewa Tribal Council.The problems of 1934 I.R.A. “corruption or bad judgement on the
part of the Indian councils” was described by professor Graham Taylor, “Their
dilemma was real and should not be viewed simplistically.It would be easy to portray the Indian New
Deal as a fraud in which puppet councils danced to the tune of hypocritical
administrations mouthing worthless slogans about Indian-self government” and
Indian Self-Determination.Dr. Taylor
wrote this description in 1980, and if there has been any change it has been
change for the worse.Cutting back on
the B.I.A. is a good idea.But, if the
Bureau of Indian Affairs is going to withdraw from the Reservations, they’d
better take their Indians with them.MORE BAD JUDGEMENT:
According to Dirk Johnson, in the December 27, 1993 New York Times, the sound
of Indian drums is being heard in Boulder, Colorado.Trishuwa, a member of the Church of Gaia, Council of the Six
Directions, has been performing Indian rituals.In 1978, when the United States Congress passed the Indian
Freedom of Religion Act, Chief Jim Crow and his squaw, Ap-ar-theid were the
main proponents and lobbyists for this bill.The N.C.A.I. thought that the I.C.R.A. gave Federally Recognized Indians
exclusive rights to discriminate against other people with regard to the Indian
Religion established by U.S. Congress.Recently, the N.C.A.I. approved a “declaration of war” against the New
Age practitioners of Earth Religions, endorsed by John Lavelle, who says he’s a
Sioux Indian.Is he going to use Bad
Medicine and sage smoke-signals in his war?Before he “declares war,” Injun John needs to get an Act of Congress,
because the U.S. Congress owns the I.F.R.A.Also, as an Indian, Lavelle is a ward of the U.S. Government under
trusteeship, and he has to get approval of the United States Department of the
Interior before he declares war.Monsieur Lavelle also says that Ed McGaa, who is a Sioux Indian medicine
man, is “a huckster and a disgrace to his tribe.”Lavelle is upset with McGaa for saying, “If we don’t share our
medicine, we’ll lose it.We’re all
brothers.”No wonder M. Lavelle’s
Indians can’t get together, they’re too busy backstabbing, and shooting arrows
in each others’ backs.It seems like
the Wanna-Be Indians are fighting each other about who has the hotline to the
Great White Father (they’re not sure if he’s in Washington, D.C. or in the
Sky), instead of understanding that there are many different ways to find one’s
balanced and harmonious path in life, and that every human being is on this
earth for a reason, even White people and N.C.A.I. Professional Indians.
The N.C.A.I. Indians are angrily criticizing the New Age People for trying to
heal the earth.New Age Pam Gershen was
quoted as saying, “Healing the earth is something we all need to do.I’m not trying to be an Indian.But the connectedness to the earth—that’s
God-given to everybody.”These White
people came to this continent looking for Freedom of Religion, and now the
Indians are being racist and denying to the Whites, Freedom of Religion.The Circle comes around, and then the Circle
comes around again.As far as I’m
concerned, if White people want to get connected to Grandmother Earth and help
heal her, more power to them.Go ahead
and practice Indian religion.Grandmother Earth is very vulnerable and fragile.Respect, and the harmony of the efforts of
people of every color, is what is needed.
James W. Baugh wrote in the August 9, 1992 San Diego Union, “The writer [of an
August 1 article on Religion & Ethics] cites a Gallup Poll in which 63
percent of Americans believe that religion can answer all or most of today’s
problems.No wonder we’re in so much
trouble.Thousands of years of
organized religion have done nothing to solve any problems and have almost
always exacerbated them by promoting fear, superstition, and irrational
mythologies.Kneeling in prayer to some
imaginary supernatural entity seeking ‘divine guidance’ or, even more
implausibly, ‘divine intervention,’ is not only a waste of time, it is
counterproductive because it lulls the supplicant into inactivity.We must stand up, open our eyes and face
life’s challenges head-on in a problem-solving approach that is reality-based
...”FAMILY VALUES:
There is an old story about a young man who came to an ignominious end.Convicted of a capital crime, he was
tortured, then executed.Some folks
weren’t surprised.After all, the
mother had gotten pregnant out of wedlock.The father had disappeared—the record is unclear whether he died or just
up and left, but at any rate he never paid any child support.As a young adult, the son abandoned the
family business.He never again held a
paying job, never married, dropped out of sight for 18 years without contacting
his family, and often hung out with prostitutes, shysters, and the
homeless.He always maintained that
there is a higher power.They crucified
two thieves, and put Him in the middle.So much for family values.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

Abstract: The 1837 Broken Treaty is still in the news.The State of Minnesota, which did not exist
in 1837, wants to amend this Broken Blood-Quantum Treaty and call it an
“agreement.”They are trying to get
their so-called “property owners” (who have never owned the land)
involved.The State of Minnesota is
really hurting.The snake-oil salesmen
in the State Legislature are diverting attention away from the crucial issues
of mineral rights, the inalienable Sovereignty of the Anishinabe Ojibway
Nation, and the State of Minnesota’s clouded title to stolen land.The Good Ol’ Boys are molding public opinion
about wild rice, writing legislation about gambling, and dealing with the
problem that they created of polluted water by proposing limiting people to one
large fish per year.They are blaming
“Indians” for the consequences of the environmental havoc they have wreaked
[and, for once, they’re right—those mythological “Indians” are part of the
problem.]As one wag said about State
Senator Charlie Berg, “one hand doesn’t know what the other hand is doing, and
he’s so busy, his ass tips over what his hands are doing.”He’s trying to please everybody, especially
his pocket-book and his prospects of re-election.
The way that the immigrant Europeans look at land “ownership” amazes me.They say they “own land,” although if you
press the issue, they’ll say “the bank owns the land.”Their relationship to the land is broken
apart into all kinds of abstract-thinking “rights,” and the way they see it,
the State has “eminent domain,” This was never ceded by the Anishinabe
Ojibway—according to some real estate legal precedents, the Europeans got their
made-up title from the Judeo-Christian God.“Landowners” pay “property taxes” (not “land taxes”) on “their land,”
and if you want to find out whether you really own land or not, just don’t pay
your taxes.The immigrant Europeans
also talk about “public land.”If you don’t
buy a license, you can’t go on that land, either.So, under their imported European law, who really “owns the
land?”The Queen of England? [Some laws
written after the U.S. “Revolution” still refer to “Crown Land.”]She doesn’t own it, and neither do the
Indians.The land in what the European
immigrants call “northern Minnesota” is Anishinabe Ojibway land.ANONYMOUS:If you become
addicted to alcohol, there is Alcoholics Anonymous.If you have an addiction to gambling, there is Gamblers Anonymous.If you eat too much, there is OverEaters
Anonymous.What there needs to be, is
Indians Anonymous.If you have the
uncontrollable urge to “go native,” you should be able to call the Bureau of
Indian Affairs or the Indian Tribal Councils, and get referred to the Indians
Anonymous program in your neighborhood.If you feel driven to go down the “Red Road,” and follow the United
States Government’s regulations on their fake “Indian Religion,” there are
plenty of Real Indian Medicine Men to go around and make a few Bucks—but you
might be better off going to Indians Anonymous.If you have a compulsion to wear buckskin, beads and feathers; if
you’re obsessed with being “Adopted Into The Tribe,” there needs to be an Indians
Anonymous.Many of the immigrant Europeans
want to go Native, and walk around in the forests.If you can’t get to an Indians Anonymous meeting, and find
yourself in the forest of stumps at Red Lake, just make sure you don’t step in
the polluted water, because your moccasins will fall off.If you see berries along the roadside, be
careful!Many of them have been sprayed
with 2-4-D and other deadly chemicals.The White D.N.R. posts a few signs in a few places (can Bears read
English?), but the details of all the places that they’ve spread poison: “Mum’s
the Word,” and it’s confidential.They’re poisoning the entire food chain.THE THREE STOOGES: Peter Graves
was the second immigrant European external-Government Federally Recognized
Indian Chairman here.Peter Graves was
relatively accountable to the Anishinabe Ojibway community here (at least in
things that were visible), and did not oversee massive clearcutting.But, these other two stooges, these two
Chippewa Indian House Niggers: Roger Jourdain and “Butch” Brun, have been
Chairmen during massive destruction and clearcutting of the forests here.They call themselves “Chippewa Indians,”
with no Aboriginal Indigenous ancestry at all.They owe their “Indian” identity to the White Man.That Indian identity is a dishonest
identity: a stereotype, a vicious label, inherently racist.All of the White man’s Good Indians walk
around with a plastic laminated card with a color picture of themselves on it,
so that they have an identity.
I wonder what ever happened to Roger’s Petition to oust ButchBrun?Or, was it just a ploy to get his Golden Parachute of $150,000.000?Are Butch Brun and Roger Jourdain in
together on the same scheme?The
present fake Chip-away White Chairman hasn’t changed Roger’s policy of
ecological annihilation: destroying the timber, the wildlife, and the
water.The fishermen say “there’s no
fish out there.”The entire ecology of
this watershed is one interconnected entity, and destroying the forests
destroys the lake and the fish.These
immigrant European “Indians,” alleged by the White man to be the “first
Conservationists,” apparently don’t understand that, and I doubt they ever
will.They’ll wreck anything to make a
few Bucks.VERY OLD CROOKED TREATY NEWS: September 1892, J.B. Bottineau, attorney

The United States Government and England owned, and still own, the definition
of “Indian.”When they needed more
“Indians” to steal, many of these French people were turned back into Indians
again.As long as the Aboriginal
Indigenous people who own this land didn’t speak the Crooked European English
language, and didn’t have access to the U.S. documents, they could get away
with having “Indians.”These Wanna-Be’s
are Europeans, and none of them have any right to alienate Aboriginal Indigenous
Peoples’ land and resources.We, the
Anishinabe Ojibway, have a right to exist.

= (a.k.a. Francis Blake, Jr. (1993). Reflections from the Anishinabe Ojibway
Nation: The Aboriginal Indigenous people on this Continent have been
mis-labelled “Indian” for the convenience of the Europeans. ...Ojibwe News.
Abstract: The Aboriginal Indigenous people on this Continent have been
mis-labelled “Indian” for the convenience of the Europeans.The Aboriginal Indigenous people protested,
and said “we are not Indians,” but for centuries nobody else heard us because
the immigrants did not bother to learn the languages that belong here.We had to learn the imported European
language of Crooked English, in order to be heard outside of our own
circle.My people have always been here
on this land, and we have always called ourselves Anishinabe Ojibway, “We, the
People,” and we have a right to exist.
It is only now that many of the Aboriginal Indigenous people are protesting the
stereotypical “Indian” identity in a language which the Europeans
understand.We object to the demeaning
and derogatory identity which the Europeans are trying to project onto us, and
if the alien European laws were honest and dealt fairly with all cultures, we
would sue you for “defamation of character,” but the imported European courts
are so crooked that we can’t get our case into a court with jurisdiction.
One of the reasons that many of us are dissatisfied is that the Europeans have
categorized the Aboriginal Indigenous people, the Métis with European
patrilines, and dark-skinned Moorish Europeans, all in the same invented
stereotypical identity of “Indians.”The European invaders have used the confusion which they have
intentionally created by the broad and vague term of “Indian” to advance their
agenda of ethnic cleansing, apartheid and grand theft.
An example is the “Indian Preference Act.”Because of the dishonest and ambiguous way in which the identity of
“Indian” is defined by the W.A.S.P.s, the European, blonde, blue-eyed “Indian”
is the one who gets the “Indian Preference” jobs.(In jobs where “looking Indian” is important, a brown, Moorish “Indian”
is hired.)An Aboriginal Indigenous
Person never gets a job under the “Indian Preference Act,” probably because
“Indians” is a crooked English word, and we’re not “Indians.”The “Token Indians” employed by the U.S.
Government are European Indians, with no Aboriginal Indigenous ancestors from
this Continent at all.
Last week, I was asked by a reader of this column to explain, “who is an
Indian.”I said, “Let’s call the
Department of the Interior, who created Indians, and have them explain to us
just what an Indian is.”We talked to
Carl Caine, in the Solicitor’s Office in Washington.His telephone number is (202) 208-3401.He said that the United States had no comprehensive definition
for an “Indian;” that the U.S. Government uses an ad hoc definition of
“Indians,” crafted according to the vagaries of the particular statute in which
“Indians” are defined.He added, in
response to a question about stereotypes, that the word “Indian” was like the
word, “uh, ... negro” [which is a Spanish word with Latin roots meaning
“black”, so the African people here also have been inflicted with an European
identity for the Europeans’ convenience].When asked how the Bureau of Indian Affairs could manage the affairs of
“Indians” when they couldn’t define them, the Solicitor suggested using a
computerized data-base search of legal definitions in Title 25, United States
Codes.If the Department of the
Interior needs a computer to figure out what the B.I.A., the U.S. Congress and
the Queen of England mean by “Indian,” they’re in trouble.“Indian” is a word with a circular
definition: the longer you look, the less meaning you find, and finally you end
up where you started, without any real meaning at all.There is no race of people who are
“Indians,” except maybe in India.In
further researching the identity of an “Indian,” it was explained to me that a
“real Indian” is from Asia, and many of them have a red “caste mark” in the
middle of their forehead.
We also asked about the meaning of “Native American,” and the Solicitor’s
office agreed that “technically, it means anybody born on this Continent.”In other words, “Native American” is an
euphemism for European, because Aboriginal Indigenous People do not call this
Continent by the foreign European name of “America.”
When pressed for more details about the meaning of the word “Indian,” Solicitor
Caine said, “call the American Indian Movement.”It sounded like the Bureau of Indian Affairs and A.I.M. have a
very cozy relationship, that the Bureau has the American Indian Movement in
their hip pocket.The Heart of the
Earth Survival School is being funded by Federal dollars, through the Bureau of
Indian Affairs, so maybe this isn’t surprising.We called A.I.M., and talked to a woman who identified herself as
the “financial officer” and Treasurer of the American Indian Movement.She couldn’t define “Indian” or “Tribe,” and
said, “I can’t answer those questions.”A.I.M. doesn’t define themselves as Aboriginal Indigenous People, because
they are immigrant European Indian Wanna-Be’s.The Treasurer knew she didn’t like the word “Redskins,” but apparently
she didn’t realize that “Indian” is also a derogatory word, given the meanings
“lazy,” “dirty,” “drunken,” “savage,” “primitive,” “noble,” ad nauseam by the
European invaders who coined the word so they could steal our land and
resources.Would you do the same thing,
if your continent had been plundered to the bedrock by your ancestors?Would you go over to somebody else’s land
and call them dehumanizing names, so you could live with yourself after you
killed them and stole their property?That’s what the Europeans have done, and isn’t that what the Europeans
who call themselves “Americans” are doing now, in Somalia, Iraq, South America
...Instead of living in harmony,
respecting and getting along with other people, they are going around starting
wars.Just because the resources of the
Aboriginal Indigenous People were stolen to create the immense “wealth” and
power of the European-Americans doesn’t mean that they should go around
bullying everybody else.Not too long
ago, an European-American could go anywhere in the world, and be treated at
least with courtesy.The Ugly American
has become so arrogant, and has so much blood on his hands, that it’s dangerous
to travel on an United States passport.The Circle comes around.THE FIRST AMENDMENT:According
to a complaint received by the Native American Press, Jim Beatty was seen
taking all of the copies of the N.A.P., which at that time was a free
paper.I guess Jim Beatty was
interpreting the First Amendment rights of a “free press” to steal free
newspapers, and keep other people from reading something he disagrees
with.It’s bad enough, that members of
most minority groups don’t have a chance to exercise their First Amendment
rights.The airwaves are claimed as
their personal “public property” by the immigrant Europeans, and are
monopolized by the Capitalist values of the White European élite.The mainstream press and news media do
scapegoating, Willie-Horton-bashing, and promote derogatory stereotypes about
other people, and when a minority person writes a rebuttal, the media usually
says, “sorry, it’s too volatile, too inflammatory, and we can’t print it,” and
so they monopolize the First Amendment by exclusion.The very newsprint that the big metropolitan papers are printed
on is made from stolen Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ resources.What the media are doing is dominating mass
communication with the White European élite’s world-view, while at the same
time claiming that there is a “diversity of cultures here.”There is a great diversity of people, but in
the media there is only a “diverse” voice within very narrow and tightly
controlled limits.Right-wing
“conservatives” like Rush Limbaugh are pigging out on the First Amendment,
trying to hog it all and not let anybody else have a voice.I’m tired of listening to these neo-Fascists
dominate the airwaves.Whenever I turn
on the radio or the T.V.—all I hear is these scapegoaters: their disharmony,
their greed, and their self-righteous violence.It’s time we heard from all cultures, all the other points of
view.Everybody is a part of this
world, and has their part to contribute in making this a better place.There are other people here besides just the
European Fascist Fundamentalists and the Bleeding Heart Liberals, who occupy
two “poles” of an artificial and narrow dichotomy.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

Nation: The Associated Press ran an article last week in which “tribal leaders

...Ojibwe News.
Abstract: The Associated Press ran an article last week in which “tribal
leaders hailed a new dawn in Indian history” after a meeting with Bruce
Babbitt.According to this article,
Secretary of the Interior Babbitt “recognized the federal government’s [crooked
and patronizing] trust responsibility for Indians.”The U.S. doesn’t really have any “trust responsibility” for
“Indians”—Trusteeship is a crooked way of using “Indians” to steal from the
Aboriginal Indigenous People.The
United States Government claims title to the Sovereign Anishinabe Ojibway land
at Red Lake, for example, under “Trusteeship” for their invention of Chippewa
Indians.The unilateral U.S. Supreme
Court case which the U.S. uses to justify “trusteeship” dealt with “Indians”
who were already genetically engineered into being European subject people.
The U.S.A. got away with “trusteeship” when we didn’t understand English, but
now they got caught.The “Indians” that
they are using are history.The
genocide was so massive that most of the “Federally Recognized Indians” are
plain old White folks, Western European people with an historical accident of
“blood quantum” which has nothing to do with their ancestry.An obvious example is the blonde, blue-eyed
“one-quarter Indians” (with no Aboriginal Indigenous ancestors at all) who are
the first to get jobs under the “Indian Preference Act,” because they are
Europeans comfortable with Western European culture.When we point out the truth to the Euro-American policy makers, they
stick their head in the sand and go into denial.They are desperate for “our Indians,” both because their
fraudulent claim to this land rests on their Indians, and to hide their
genocide, which they haven’t admitted here yet.They don’t want to listen, and under Linear Thinking, they jump from
compartment to compartment in their brain.How many categories of Abstract Thinking do they go through, in order to
run away from the truth?The leaders
and philosophers of Western European $ivilization say they don’t know whether
anything is real, or not.Under
abstract thinking, nothing is real, because it’s all in their head.They have to get out of their head, and put
their feet on the ground, and start dealing with the truth.The environmental degradation which
threatens every living being on this planet is not abstract—it is very
real.Maybe they’re so caught up in
their Christian cults that they’re happy with Armageddon, but I’m not.RELIGION: The Christian Indian religion is the subject of pedantic
discourse in the U.S. Senate.The
Judeo-Christian Congress which created the “Indians” are at it again.They are trying to use “Indian Religion” as
a means of unilaterally regulating the Sovereign Aboriginal Indigenous People,
trying to abrogate our inherent and unceded Sovereignty, and as yet another
strategy to steal land.Why don’t they
go regulate their own religions—and address the deadly violence that’s written
right into their Bible?The competing
Jesus Christs of Waco, Texas (ATF and “Branch Davidians”) studied violence in
their Holy “Good Book.”Look for
yourself—start with Genesis, which advocates genocide.HISTORY: In 1939, Red Lake B.I.A. Superintendent Raymond H. Bitney’s
Annual Report included his “unbiased” version of history at Red Lake.He wrote that in the 1700’s the Chippewa and
the Sioux were fighting here; Bitney used misleading and distorted “historical”
sources to imply that this is not Aboriginal Anishinabe Ojibway land.This is a lie which has been perpetuated by
White historians since the 1850’s—in part to justify their stealing of
Anishinabe Ojibway land at Red Lake.
The “Chippewa” and the “Sioux” were European subject people: Métis who were
created by the White man and made into “Indians.”They were fighting over the fur trade.There were no “Indians” here until the White man made them
up.There is no word for “Indian” in
the Anishinabe Ojibway language.“Wars”
are a part of Western European culture, and are used to steal.War is not and has never have been a part of
Anishinabe Ojibway culture.We do not
even have a word for “war” in our language.The “Sioux” and the “Chippewa” came from the East, with their White
fathers.These Métis and White people
caught in the “Indian” identity and the “Indian wars” were not Aboriginal
Indigenous People.Bitney would have
been more accurate if he had written, “the Wanna-be’s and Métis came from the
East.They brought their violent
European culture with them, and engaged in bloody battles with each other, over
who could steal the most.”The
Anishinabe Ojibway have always been here, and we have never gone to war.
The “Informants” used by ethnohistorians, anthropologists, and other “students
of Indians” have been either White or Métis Indians.My advice to anthropologists: if you want to study “Indians,” all
you have to do is go look in the mirror, and write out your projections,
stereotypes, labels, and vicious self-serving lies.That’s what you’ve been doing—but because “Indian” is a racist
stereotype created by the White man, it’s true that you’ve been writing about
“Indians.”The Chippewa language, a
Creole pidgin hodge-podge invented by the Europeans, has the same linear
thinking as other European languages.It’s a fraud and a fake.CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS: Rodney King is on trial again, although he is
the one who brought suit for violation of his rights.As a product of Western European Civilization’s ghettos which the
White man built on this Continent, Rodney King’s peoples’ rights have been
violated ever since his ancestors were brought in chains from Africa.When the Los Angeles Police arrested Rodney
King, they violated both his civil rights and his human rights.Using Crooked and Slippery English, and very
sharply polished industrial psychology, the perpetrators are trying to
exonerate themselves from the beating, which is real.They are trying to say, “it didn’t happen.”It did happen to Rodney King, this kind of
violence has been going on ever since the immigrant Europeans have been here,
and still goes on.
Rodney King has no court of redress.The very court that he is going to is violating his rights, again.It is a Western European Court of Roman and
English law, designed to uphold the White hierarchy and immigrant European
class system.After a beating which
almost killed Mr. King, the lawyer for the defendant asked him if he was
lying.The same people who are asking
him if he’s lying, don’t know anything about the truth, and they are
humiliating and lying to Rodney King.His
rights are being violated by their Crooked English.Rodney King doesn’t speak Crooked White-man English.The “jury of his peers” who are judging him
(and all African-Americans) rather than his assailant, are all White, and they
don’t know right from wrong, either.The judge is White.Rodney King
is suing for White money that he’s not supposed to have, and after this Court
finds him guilty, he’ll go back to a White jail.Rodney King doesn’t need any White money.What he needs is for the laws to be changed.Rodney King and the rest of his People need
to address the social problems which created the conditions for his beating in
the first place.The imported European
money system is a part of the problem.
Los Angeles is gearing up for riots, and pouring more money into bad housing,
ineffective education, corrupt police, riot gear, heavy artillery for the
police, and other social problems.Violence is not going to solve the problem, it is only going to make it
worse—and if the African-Americans in Los Angeles get manipulated into another riot,
they’ve been conned.Western European
Civilization’s “Law and Order” has been nothing but anarchy and violence ever
since the immigrants ran away from the violence in Europe, and it has to
stop.We are all here on this earth,
and we have to make this a better place to live.We need to address the social problems which the White man
created, and maintains through his laws.Instead of the violent and rigid European “rule of law,” we need to
create a harmonious world for everybody, not just the élite heirs of European
$ivilization.Every person is on this
Earth for a purpose, and has something valuable to contribute.
Blaming the victim is an old European strategy.In the police reports, they call Rodney King a “perpetrator,” but
the real perpetrator is Western European law.The perpetrators are trying to exonerate themselves from the violent
beating of Mr. King, claiming that “it’s not real,” that it didn’t really
happen, and in spite of the videotape evidence claiming that Rodney King is
lying.Now, who’s lying and who’s
telling the truth?Confusing, isn’t
it?Using crooked and slippery English,
and language that Rodney King can’t communicate in, they’ll get away with
it.Rodney King speaks “street
language,” but he neither speaks nor reads Crooked White English.The Europeans are here to steal.Although the White man says, “you’ve got to
have law and order,” it’s White law, on his terms.In order to understand what the European immigrants are really
about, all you have to do is go look at the ecosystem here at Red Lake.It looks like a war zone: the trees are
clear-cut, the water is polluted, and the wildlife has all but
disappeared.If this is “$ivilization,”
the Euro-Americans are in damn sorry shape, and also in deep, deep doo-doo.

= (a.k.a. Francis Blake, Jr. (1993). Reflections from the Anishinabe Ojibway
Nation: The controversy surrounding Leonard Peltier and the F.B.I. is front-page
news again ...Ojibwe News.
Abstract: The controversy surrounding Leonard Peltier and the F.B.I. is
front-page news again—along with Robert Redford’s Hollywood “documentary,”
which presents a perspective on an incident at Oglala, South Dakota after the
Wounded Knee takeover in 1973.According to the Sunday, January 17 Minneapolis Star Tribune,
F.B.I. agent Nicholas O’Hara calls the Hollywood movies Thunderheartand Incident at Oglala “one of the
dumbest things I’ve ever seen, an outrageous portrayal of how we [the F.B.I.]
do business.”But, he isn’t complaining
about Hollywood’s Gangbusters series, nor all of the Elliott Ness movies
which glamorized the F.B.I., and which were just as far away from reality as
the movies he’s complaining about now.
Hollywood has always promoted the “Indian.”The entertainment moguls have a problem with reality—their goal is
making money, no matter what kinds of lies and fairy-tales they tell, rather
than the truth.The very word “Indian”
is an European term.It is not an
Aboriginal Indigenous word, and the people to whom the word “Indian” refers are
not indigenous to this continent.That’s reality.Whether it’s
Robert Redford making a movie about a French Métis, or the Lone Ranger’s
favorite “sidekick”—or Robert Stack living out a fantasy—Hollywood has never
been noted for accurate historical documentation.The main connection that Hollywood has with reality is when
Hang-Around-The-Fort Indians and Wanna-Be Indians look to Hollywood for their
mythological identity, and live out the projections and the racist stereotypes
that the White man invented to promote the self-serving identity that the
Euro-Americans depend on to defend their “Big Lie.”If there are “Indians” like the ones in the Hollywood movies,
it’s because these “Indians” learned how to wear their headbands and feathers
in the movie theaters.
“Indians” (Hollywood and otherwise) are unreal, a fake identity that both feeds
on and generates racism.Far worse than
peopling the mythological Indian identity with Wanna-be’s, Hollywood images of
“Indians” are violent and warlike, or (recently) so such incredibly “noble
savages” that to try to live out either dichotomy of the Indian stereotype will
shatter the self-esteem of anyone who tries.That’s why there are so many “Indians” in jail.These stereotypes are all false projections
of Western European $ivilization, and have nothing to do with Aboriginal
Indigenous People.We are not
“Indians.”But, a lot of real human
beings get hurt by real violence because of “Indian” and other violent
Indo-European mythologies.Western
European $ivilization is based on violence—otherwise they wouldn’t be
here.Where are the mainstream media
reports of people objecting to the mindless, gratuitous and sado-masochistic
violence which pours out of Hollywood?
Hollywood Indians are not the only people having trouble telling apart fact and
fiction.Ronald Reagan, the celluloid
cowboy, played the role of Great American Hero.He filled the leadership vacuum of the political right wing, and
for his acting in Washington, D.C. he got knighted by Queen Elizabeth.NEWS FROM THE CRUSADES: Kuwaiti Sweet Crude is lubricating the hidden
agenda of George “Black Gold” Bush.There’s a new epidemic of the mental disease of greed, and the symptoms
include the fear of running out of stealable oil, Klepto-petro-gone-a-phobia.But, the pattern is at least as old as the
European occupation of this Continent.“Infrastructure” is the hot word, but apparently most people aren’t
thinking about the way in which the colonial “post roads” were replaced by the
railroads, etc. ...The glory days of
the railroads were underwritten by the wholesale plunder of Aboriginal
Indigenous Peoples’ land and resources.Fortunes were made and lost on speculation—and insider trading of
coveted railroad “rights.”The real
(not “theoretical”) nature of capitalism [and its blood brother, Communism] is
that only the “in-group” of the Good Ol’ Boy W.A.S.P.s is in a position to take
advantage of the real prizes.When the
people whose “station in life” is lower on the hierarchy start to get too
“uppity,” then the Capitalist Financial Engineers create a “recession” or a
“depression”—and, not incidentally, change the details in the rules of the
game.They use economic restraints and
financial handcuffs, along with the social engineering they call “money,” in
order to hang onto their position at the top of the hierarchy they invented.
The Anishinabe Ojibway timber that the railroads used to run their locomotives
should not have been plundered—but if you take care of them again, for a
thousand years or so, forests can re-grow.Once a barrel of oil is burned, it’s gone forever.It cannot be replaced.Although the Euro-American occupation of
this continent—and everywhere else these locusts have invaded—has never
been environmentally responsible nor sustainable, there was not so long ago a
very efficient public mass-transit system in the United States.It was purposefully gutted by special
interests, including certain corporations which have been greedily devouring
everything they could reach in the public trough for nearly a century.The gas-guzzlers held a near-monopoly on the
publicly funded New Infrastructure.Gas
stations were known as “Service Stations” and gave away premiums for filling
your tank.Then, the OPEC Outbreak
brought an epidemic of No-Petro-Phobia.Now, a person has to pay a fine for not wearing a seat belt, people pump
their own gas—and the Good Ol’ Boys are talking about a “Brand New”
infrastructure of—guess what—public rail transportation.Most of the Euro-American elders who
remember the last time this all went around are sitting in warehouses called
“Old Folks Homes,” dancing the Thorazine Shuffle.
There will come a time when there is no more oil available.Instead of burning it up, why aren’t the
“World Leaders” using what remains of the petroleum wisely, to build a better
and more harmonious world for future generations?The “New World Order” that Ex-President Bush talked about is just
as crooked as the Third Reich, or any other Old World Order.Under European thinking, and European
“International Law,” “Peace” is more violent than war.Look at what has happened to the Anishinabe
Ojibway lands and people after the white “Indians” signed a Treaty of
“perpetual peace and friendship.”Under
what the Europeans call “peaceful conditions,” tree-clippers, chain-saws, toxic
chemicals, bull-dozers and skidders are decimating our environment, perhaps
even beyond regeneration.If they quit
destroying them now and leave them alone, we will be lucky if our forests can
be healed in five hundred years.But,
Indo-European “peace” and their “war” are the same thing: European
violence.There is no word for either
“war” nor “peace” in the Anishinabe Ojibway language.Violence was neither in our culture, nor in our language, and we
also did not need the violence of “Anglo-Saxon” swear words.
Under the right-wing leadership of the Reagan-Bush administrations, the
Pentagon has changed its name to the Petro-gone.The oil baron who used to run the Secret Police has started
Bush-fires all over the world, as a oily smoke-screen for his major objective
in the Middle East.The Islamic Nations
and the Christians have been fighting for more than a millennia.In 1918, the British occupation forces were
kicked out of Kuwait, and the Arabs have also broken away from direct British
colonial occupation in the rest of their homeland.(Although their Imperial boundaries shift like the sands of the
man-made deserts created by Indo-European “civilization,” the underlying
structure remains the same.)
George Bush, who is an Englishman with so-called “royal blood,” feels obliged
to avenge the insult to his crown cousins.He’s spending more money stealing oil, than it would cost to buy
it.His last days in office have been
dictated by what he’s deluding himself is “principle.”He’s also hoping that the mess that’s he’s
leaving will keep the new administration so busy that they won’t have time to
think about the Iran Contra-Gate Affair, nor about the war crimes committed
during Operation Desert Storm. Even Adolf Hitler did not strafe nor bomb the
retreating British troops he had routed out of France and had “bottled up” at
Dunkirk.In this new era of
instantaneous communication and satellite news networks, where was the
world-wide broadcast news coverage of retreating and surrendering Iraqi troops
being killed in cold blood?How about
the photographs of all the U.S. military equipment that George Bush sold, and
then turned around and blew up?Military censorship of the media was to hide not only the criminal
brutality of the U.S. command, but also the U.S.-made tanks and other U.S.
armament and equipment which Commander Bush sold to the Iraqi Army so he could
go to war and steal oil.If greedily
creating the agony of untold thousands of shattered families of widows and
orphans is “heroism” or “patriotism,” then so-called Western Civilization needs
to seriously rethink its priorities.
Saddam Hussein and George Bush are both right-wing fundamentalists coming out
of the very same Indo-European mad-dog hierarchial theocratic tradition.Islam and Judeo-Christianity share identical
violent roots: Allah and Jehovah are very closely related: both disharmonious
patriarchs who are easily manipulated into war.But, before you start calling people names, go take a hard look
in the mirror, George.My advice to
George Bush is to seek political asylum in Great Britain.Although the U.S. Supreme Court has
arrogantly decided that they can kidnap “suspects” from anywhere in the world,
England is the exception.The Queen of
England still holds the Sovereignty of the protestant Euro-Americans, through
their religion—and they exercise minute control over their subject peoples’
lives through the imported European monetary and military system, just like the
exported English monetary system is used in the other U.S.A., the Union of
South Africa, and in the rest of the world.

Nation: The Cree Nation, and the Quebecois, who also call themselves a Nation,
are presently at an impasse over the flooding of much of the Cree ... Ojibwe
News.
Abstract: The Cree Nation, and the Quebecois, who also call themselves a
Nation, are presently at an impasse over the flooding of much of the Cree
Nation in order to construct a giant hydro-electric dam.Negotiations have come to a standstill, and
the Cree are presently threatening violence if the Quebecois invade to flood
their land.What the Cree need to do is
take an inventory of what each acre of the land proposed to be flooded holds:
the deer, the moose, the fish in the lakes, the birds, the plants, and the
value of these in the Traditional Cree economic system and in the ecology.
The hydroelectric project proposes genocide: the flooding of this land will
destroy the Cree Nation’s infrastructure, including their families.The Quebecois are following the old European
practice of assigning White values to this land—saying that “there is nothing
there,” because they do not understand the land and they do not understand the value
of it.
The third party, the British Canadian Government, is presently sitting on the
sidelines, adhering to the old British colonial practices of divide and
rule.By their actions and inactions,
they are promoting violence, with the plan of stepping in to take over after
the Quebecois and the Cree have exhausted themselves fighting each other.
What the Cree Nation and the Quebecois Nation need to do, is sit down and talk
about the economics of the situation from both sides, rather than getting
suckered into violence.Without the
land, the dam is worth nothing.The
Cree Nation would do well to talk to the White man on his own terms: to say
that they want 60% of the hydroelectric plant’s net income, 60% ownership, and
a majority of the seats on the board of directors.This way, the issue can be settled non-violently, the Cree will
survive as a nation, and the British Canadians can be kept out of the whole
issue.ONGOING GRAFT: Roger “Bucky”
Head, who was the executive director of the Minnesota Indian Affairs
Commission, resigned one day after allegations that his wife, Mary Head, had
taken $200,000 from the Gilfillan Center in Bemidji.So, what else is new in Indian Country?If the accusation of embezzlement is true, Mrs. Head is only a
piker in terms of Indian stealing.The
Bureau of Indian Affairs has set up the administration of Indian programs
according to the classical European pattern of corrupt colonial
government.The B.I.A. needs corruption
among its underlings and henchmen in order to maintain their control of the
system.(Who knows, maybe Mary Head
didn’t take any cash, she only took vouchers.)If they are going to prosecute Mary Head, they had better start
indictment proceedings against all of the Indians, all across the country.Anybody who claims an “Indian” identity is,
by definition, at least in collusion with the theft of the Aboriginal
Indigenous Peoples’ resources.The
White man brags about this, saying “without the Indians, we wouldn’t have this
land.”None of the land on this
Continent has ever been Indian land.The
Indian is a fantasy and an illusion created by the White man.FIREARMS CONTROL: The buck stops here! a.k.a. the honorable Attorney
General Janet Reno, hasn’t been publicly visible during the debate over the
Brady Bill.Maybe this is because you
could pass a hundred Brady Bills, and you still wouldn’t be dealing with the
root causes of violence in this country.Could it be that she stood behind her deputies’ foolish ideas before,
and she’s had enough of taking the heat for somebody else’s abstract macho
fantasies.What you immigrant Western
Europeans who call yourselves Americans need to do, is look at the root causes
of your violent culture.Who stole a
continent at gunpoint, and committed genocide to try to hide the evidence?To find the causes of this violence, all
you Western Europeans have to do is look in the mirror (this includes you
Indo-Europeans who are posing as Indians).
In slippery crooked English, the word “democracy” is an euphemism for “human
rights violations.”Capitalism
translates into stealing Aboriginal Indigenous (and other third-world) peoples’
property,and distributing it to the
privileged Western Europeans.Hey,
isn’t that how socialism works, re-distributing the wealth of plundered
resources?The Western Europeans say
that they “hate socialism,” so why don’t they go home and live on their own
homeland?Why are they here?Could it be that because of their violent
culture and their many wars, they have already destroyed their own ecosystems
and used up all of their own resources?Hierarchial English misconstrues the world in the abstract, so that
human rights for non-whites do not exist from an European perspective.“Gun control” is a diversionary tactic,
which will not heal the violence embedded in Western European language and
culture.“Gun Control” also will not
change the vested interests of the economic system created by crime.For the criminal, crime does not pay.But, for professionals in “law enforcement”
and the “criminal justice system,” crime does pay: with lucrative salaries,
status and other perks, and the sadistic joy of having violent authority over
people they hate.By not dealing with
their own values, they maintain banana republics in every big urban police department.Violent crime rates also mask the Bosnia in
U.S. cities.Janet Reno needs to talk
about the slow war of genocide against African Americans, present-day
us-against-them class warfare, and Rodney King police protection.“The Buck Stops Here” could make everybody
in this country a policeman, and because of their Western European values, the
crime rate would still keep going up.LOSS OF IDENTITY: According to the Associated Press, a white man had a
child, known as K.K.S., with a Metis Indian woman, who is also patrilineally
White.Although the U.S. Supreme Court
has ruled that the Indian Tribal Courts have no jurisdiction over non-Indians,
the Minnesota Court of Appeals is violating the U.S. Constitution by “declining
jurisdiction” in the custody case of K.K.S.The three White Appellate Court Judges: Mary Ann Short, Edward Parker,
and Harriet Lansing, expediently sacrificed the rights of their own White
people.“Indian Sovereignty” was
created by the United States, under the provisions of the U.S. Constitution.The White father of K.K.S. is also supposed
to have rights under the U.S. Constitution, which are being denied by muddying
up the issue under so-called Indian Sovereignty, which is non-existent and was
not intended to take rights away from Whites.The real issue is that the State of Minnesota does not have valid title
to this land, and they are promoting “Indians” to perpetuate the illusion that
the way the State stole Anishinabe Ojibway land under various Indian land scams
is valid.INDIAN GIVER:The White man
gives with one hand, and then he takes back with the other.There never has been any such thing as
“Indian land.”How many Indian still
have the land from the Land Scrip issued under the Indian Treaties?How many Indians, under the Dawes Act, still
have their allotment?The U.S. Indian
policy was designed to steal the land from the Aboriginal Indigenous People,
and then blame the Indians for “losing the land.”Under the “land settlements” and the 1934 I.R.A., the United
States may say that they gave some land “back” to the Tribes they created, but
the U.S. put this land under “trust,” and this fake land title is retained by
the United States.If that’s not
stealing and being an “Indian Giver,” I don’t know what is.WANNA-BE’S: There was a per-capita payment issued to Red Lakers last
week: a turkey.If you got one, you’re
a stuffed Indian.
If you’re a ward of the B.I.A. and you’re wearing dark glasses, and the
Bureau’s stealing you blind, you’re a bankrupt Indian.
If you still like signing Treaties to sell land that doesn’t belong to you,
you’re an Indian.
If you’re a patrilineal descendant of an Indian Chief, you’re a Royal Indian.
If you like living out the stereotypes, so you throw your beer cans and your
empty cartons along the roadside, you’re a real Indian.
If you think hangover soup is your national food, you’re an Indian.
If you don’t have a Clan or a Dodem, and you don’t have enough guts to take
your real identity, you’re an Indian and a Wanna-Be.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

= (a.k.a. Francis Blake, Jr. (1993). Reflections from the Anishinabe Ojibway
Nation: The details of the ground rules for “Indian Gambling” need to be made
clear and public ...Ojibwe News.
Abstract: The details of the ground rules for “Indian Gambling” need to be made
clear and public.George Washington
supposedly said, “I cannot tell a lie,” but what was the truth?On Washington’s birthday, the Minneapolis Star
Tribune published an editorial about compulsive gambling, in which it was
written that “Indian tribes ... sovereignty puts them beyond the reach of the
law...”The Sovereignty that the
editorial writer refers to is a phony Sovereignty, which under U.S. Statute
belongs to the U.S. Cabinet Officer, Secretary of the Interior.This phantom “Indian Sovereignty” was
invented to hide the Euro-Americans’ genocide and theft of the land.It is one of the many lies that arise
directly from the hierarchial Judeo-Christian values which the Europeans
brought with them.What good is this
illusory Sovereignty, under which Indians do not have jurisdiction over
“non-Indians,” White people, natural resources, territory, or much of anything
else, including their Chippewa identity?
When the State of Minnesota signed agreements with the fake Indian Tribes,
using these White Indians as a smokescreen for gambling operations, the “Indian
Tribes” waivered something, although it probably wasn’t Sovereignty, because
the Indians never had any “sovereignty.”“To Waiver” means “relinquishment of some legal privilege, as of a jury
trial, or immunity from judicial process.”Behind those Indians’ publicly bemoaned broken treaties and empty
promises, the Indians are European subject peoples.(The Aboriginal Indigenous People are not, and never have been,
subject peoples.)How can the Indians
be “Sovereign” when, because of their Indo-European biological fathers, the
Indians were born European subject people with an European patriline?The Indians did not have any Sovereignty
even before the State of Minnesota required them to “waiver” it in order to
open casinos.
The State of Minnesota is one of the states with stringent, effective
“Dram-Shop” laws.The precedent of
liability has already been established—and compulsive gambling isn’t much
different from compulsive drinking.It
ruins families and destroys lives.The
“Indian Casinos” are wide open for lawsuits involving millions of dollars in
punitive damages and “pain and suffering” resulting from compulsive gambling.
I don’t know if the writer of the unsigned editorial in the Star Tribune
is purposefully dissembling, or if he or she didn’t bother to research the
background facts about “Indian Tribes” and the Indian Casinos.In my lifetime, I have seen any number of
schemes using “Indians” to steal from the Anishinabe Ojibway and other
Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples.My
educated guess is that “Indian Gaming” is one more Euro-American scam.For the record: both the Minnesota Chippewas
(created by act of U.S. Congress on January 14, 1889) and the Indian
Reorganization Act “Tribal Council” of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians
are on Anishinabe Ojibway land illegally.They have no valid claim to our Sovereignty, our resources, our rights,
nor our land.The “Indians” do not have
Aboriginal Sovereignty.We, the
Anishinabe Ojibway have nothing to do with the “Indian” casinos, which were
created without the consent of the few surviving Aboriginal Indigenous
People.I have not received one foreign
Euro-American penny from the casinos, and whatever liability the Indian Casinos
incur is their problem, and is not “covered” by Anishinabe Ojibway property.DEFINING INDIAN LEADERSHIP:Because the White man created the Indians, he has a right to appoint his
Indian Chiefs, as well as to do anything else that defines his Indians.(If you’ve been an “Indian” and don’t like
the control that the White man exercises over his mythological invention of “Indians,”
go get your real identity—don’t let somebody else define who you are.)On the Reservations, this includes creating
the Indian Reorganization Act “Tribal Councils” and then recognizing them
“subject to the review of the Secretary of the Interior or his duly authorized
agent [and other White organizations].”On the Reservations, the purpose of “Indian leadership” is mostly to
alienate resources, sign “land deals” and other “government to government”
[translation from Crooked English: “European to European”] agreements, and
exercise nepotism by appointing their relatives to five or six “Indian
Preference” jobs apiece.Because the
land which the U.S. Government calls “Indian Reservations” is part of the
Aboriginal Indigenous peoples’ land which has never been legally “ceded,” what
reservation Indian leaders really are is symbols of non-existent “democracy” in
fake “Indian Nations,” propped up by illegal Euro-American occupation
forces.(Read the boilerplate Indian
Reorganization Act “Tribal” Constitutions”—and the United States Government
regulations which rigidly define them, if you don’t believe me.Also, read the committee hearing reports of
both the U.S. Senate and House, regarding the good ol’ boys’ backroom politics
relating to the passage of the crooked Social Engineering Law which is the 1934
I.R.A.)
Due to relocation, many of the “Indians” live in what is called the “Red
Ghetto.”The leadership there is picked
and paid by some do-gooder liberal Christian Churches.Because of the Indians’ artificial identity
and thus their White European values (which former Indian Commissioner John
Collier called “White plus psychology”) and their greed, it becomes a pocket
book issue.Others question the “Indian
leadership.”The real issue is—are
these “Indian leaders” being followed, or are they being chased?JOURDAIN-PERPICH ELDERLY CARE FACILITY:Monday, I visited Mr. George Tanner, who resides at the Jourdain-Perpich
nursing home at Red Lake.Other
community members have raised serious questions about the quality of the care
at this facility in the past.Mr.
Tanner has fallen twice, and may have broken his leg.He would like to have his leg X-rayed.So far, his requests for an X-ray have been denied, although as
far as I know the X-ray machine in the adjacent hospital works.Also, he would greatly appreciate hearing
from friends or relatives around Mille Lacs.All of the elders in the nursing home enjoy visitors.

Nation: The front page of last Sunday’s Metro/State section of the Minneapolis
Star Tribune blared the stereotype of the “Drunken Indian” ...Ojibwe News.
Abstract: The front page of last Sunday’s Metro/State section of the
Minneapolis Star Tribune blared the stereotype of the “Drunken Indian” across
all six columns.One wonders what
public opinion is being molded for now.Is the media setting the stage to exonerate the Minneapolis Police and
the Minnesota State Legislature in their treatment of Trunk Indians?
“Ethnic Cleansing” is an euphemism for genocide.By any name, this despicable crime against humanity is just as
ugly, and just as unjustifiable.If you
want to see genocide being committed, you don’t have to go to Bosnia, or
Serbia, or Ethiopia.Take your cameras
and your camcorders, and you can document the genocide of the Aboriginal
Indigenous People of this Continent in its final stages, right before your eyes
in Elliott Park.
The Aboriginal Indigenous People who are being killed by chemical warfare in
Elliott Park have been maneuvered into a position where they will be blamed for
their own deaths by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, United States Government.These Aboriginal Indigenous People (not the
“Indians”) were forced out of their homes by the B.I.A. program of
“relocation,” and are prevented from returning by a combination of economic
programs, political I.R.A. puppet governments, the U.S.-supported vested
interests of the “White Indians,” and alienation of the resources which are
being used to pay for their own destruction.These people are suffering from psychological damage resulting from
torture in boarding schools and abuse in foster homes, as well as by the
foreign I.R.A. “tribal governments” and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, which
maintains a parasitic relationship living off the resources of the Anishinabe
Ojibway and other Aboriginal Indigenous People.Instead of getting off their backs and letting these people help
themselves and each other up, the Great White Father is kicking then while
they’re down.The Circle comes
around.Have your vicious fun—your days
as a “world power” are numbered, too.
The Good Citizens around Elliott Park, who are free of sin, are complaining
about the indignities they witness in their neighborhood.These immigrants don’t complain about the
suffering and the genocide right under their nose, they complain about “curses”
and property damage.Genocide is never
pretty, whether by blame-the-victim chemical warfare, or by gas ovens.Death by Bad Medicine—the Europeans’ sacred
drug of alcohol—is a slow and dehumanizing death.The theft of this Continent, and the genocide of almost all of
the people that this land belongs to hasn’t cost the Great White Father a
dime—every bit of this genocide has been funded by stolen land and resources.
In the early 1960’s a position paper was written by the a federation of Indian
programs in Minneapolis.They
identified all of the problems: the educational system, the unemployment, the
housing, the alcoholism—these were all identified thirty years ago by “Indian
organizations.”The White Indians all
got good jobs—and the problems of thirty years ago are still here.You can go out there and document the same
conditions, or worse.If the Indians
made real progress in solving the problems of the Aboriginal Indigenous people
they try to claim as “their relations,” they would be out of a job.You don’t see the Bureau of Indian Affairs, nor
any of the mainstream “Indian Organizations” addressing any of the problems
effectively.Their role as “Indians” is
as a broker and a smokescreen to hide the genocide which is now being done in a
“politically correct” way: socially engineering lethal traps, and then blaming
the victims.
What needs to be done is to have the White Indians quit sponging off of the
misery of the Aboriginal Indigenous People.The White man’s “Indians” are in complicity with the United States
Government in committing and hiding the genocide of the Aboriginal Indigenous
People.It’s been like that for more
than a century, and it’s about time that the hypocrites in Washington like Paul
Wellstone and Daniel Inouye publicly came to terms with the truth, instead of
putzing around with self-serving legislation like the “Indian Freedom of
Religious Act.”
“Indians” are not, and have never been, the same people as the Anishinabe
Ojibway, Lakota, and other Aboriginal Indigenous People.A “real Indian” great-grandmother
(“princess” or not) does not make you an Aboriginal Indigenous person.If you have a White father or White paternal
grandfather, you are who your White father is.You have been genetically engineered as planned by Judeo-Christian
principles, and are just as much a part of the European community as a
full-blooded European.You no longer
have an Aboriginal Indigenous birthright.You are gone as an Aboriginal Indigenous Person of this Continent.Dressing up in feathers and speaking “for
Indians” puts you in the position of openly admitting and condoning
genocide.There are no “Indians”
here.Get your real identity, and stand
on your own feet, rather than parasitically continuing to enable the genocide
of the Aboriginal Indigenous People.This genocide must stop.We, the
Anishinabe Ojibway and other Aboriginal Indigenous People have a right to exist
in our own land.TREATY INDIANS: There is another
group of “Indians,” who are signing agreements about the “treaties,” fronting
for White management in the Casinos, and complaining about “Indian
Mascots.”These are a different
(hybrid) breed of “Indians” than the so-called “Indians” in Elliott Park, and
the Trunk Indians.As long as a person goes
under the “Indian” identity, they are caught in the United States Government’s
White-Man-Burden Trusteeship.“Trusteeship” means that the United States Government takes your
property, deprives you of any right to sue (or sign legal documents like
“treaty agreements”), and defines you as an incompetent ward.I don’t understand how these incompetent
wards can go around signing Treaty Agreements, or allege to represent the
Aboriginal Indigenous People, whose resources are being “negotiated” in crooked
courts.The White man imported his legal
system, defines the terms, and has it stacked in his favor.Why ask the guy who stole something in the
first place, to decide if what he did is fair, or not?That’s dumb.There is no court of redress for the Aboriginal Indigenous People
of this world.SIN TAXES:The Republicans never
intended to balance the U.S. budget.When Ronald Reagan promised to “balance the budget,” the budget he was
talking about was the bank accounts of his low friends in high places.George Bush even gave away the Savings and
Loans, and some of the banks.When the
Europeans first got here, they stole from the Aboriginal Indigenous
People.Now that they’ve plundered
almost everything we had, they’ve turned to stealing from each other, and from
their future generations.Now that the
U.S. Government is in debt and deep doo-doo, they’re looking for taxes to pay
off their deficit that they’ve stolen from the future.Since they’re such crooks themselves, the
first thing they do is become indignantly self-righteous, start pointing the
finger at other “sinners,” and propose to balance the budget by taxing
“sin.”They want to tax Joe Sixpack and
Joe Camel, not themselves.These
two-faced sanctimonious grafters are waffling and wallowing and pigging out in
pork gridlock.
The deficit could be paid off in a year, and the budget running a surplus, if
they would tax lies.A dollar per lie
would do it.Taxing just the lies in
Washington D.C. would come very close to balancing the budget.The lie taxes could be administered on the
“honor system” [Ahem!].Sin Taxes are
about pointing the finger, using guilt to keep the beer-drinking sinners from
objecting to shouldering a heavy tax load to pay for the sins of the upper
class, who stole from the Treasury and are making big bucks off of the interest
on the Deficit.Instead of taxing beer,
there’d be more tax revenue from taxing lies.The bartender could collect the taxes, as Joe Sixpack and his buddies
sit in the bar drinking beer and telling lies.
After doing the genealogy and the history here at Red Lake, it’s obvious that if
the “lie tax” were made retroactive, the U.S. Budget Deficit could be paid off
in a month on just the lies told to the Anishinabe Ojibway at Red Lake—and
you’d have enough left over to run your pork programs for another hundred
years.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

Nation: The Mille Lacs Lake Band of Chippewa Indians is once again in the
news.The B.I.A. is using the Minnesota
D.N.R. ...Ojibwe News.
Abstract: January 15, 1993
The Mille Lacs Lake Band of Chippewa Indians is once again in the news.The B.I.A. is using the Minnesota D.N.R. to
weasel out from the Mississippi Chippewa Treaty, and is trying to re-negotiate
the terms and take what they haven’t stolen over the past 150 years.The State of Minnesota is calling it an
“accord,” the Mille Lacs Band is calling it an “agreement,” and the Indians are
calling it a “treaty.”When the U.S.
first signed both sides of the Mississippi Chippewa Treaty, they planned that
the third, excluded party, the Anishinabe Ojibway people, would be extinct
within a generation or so.The
Anishinabe Ojibway couldn’t sell the land, nor the resources, because
Grandmother Earth is an inseparable part of our religion and our identity—and
the U.S. knew that.So, by legislation
and executive order, England, the United States and the Northwest Territories
created “Chippewa Indians” out of the White European fur traders and their
Métis children.
At the time that the Mississippi “Treaty” was negotiated, neither the
Anishinabe Ojibway nor the French Métis spoke English.The “Treaties” were negotiated in
English.Although we have done
extensive research at document repositories, and have requested copies from
both the Bureau of Indian Affairs and from the United States Senate, there seem
to be no copies of either the negotiations nor the “treaties” in any language
except English. (You can bet that Boris
Yeltsin has a copy of the weapons-limitation treaties in Russian.)Even if the archivists did come up with a
copy in Chippewa, it wouldn’t make any difference, because the Chippewa
language has the same European thought-patterns and embedded values as the
European language of English.
Minnesota Viking media-created “folk hero” Bud Grant is going around laying the
groundwork for angry confrontations about fishing at Mille Lacs Lake, just like
Dean Christ did in Wisconsin.(One wonders
about the coincidence of Bud Grant’s onetime Viking quarterback just seated on
the Minnesota Supreme Court.)The P.R.
coming out of the opinion-makers’ offices in 1993 isn’t much different than it
was in the 1830’s: the media is urging the wagon-trains to circle, the brave
cavalry is closing flanks, and the mythological Indians are whooping it
up.It’s the same hyperbole and crooked
scheming—for the same purpose: swindle and grand theft of Aboriginal Indigenous
peoples land and resources.It worked in
the 1800’s, and Western European history is full of lies and distortions that
need to be debunked.
It’s to the advantage of the State of Minnesota to polarize the communities
here using hunting and fishing rights, and to have contentious, even violent demonstrations
on one or both sides of the fishing issue.The State of Minnesota is promoting “catch and release,” but what they
are really doing is “bait and switch.”While the environmentally conscious hunters and fishermen of Minnesota
are busy demonstrating against the Indians, the Minnesota “conservation
agency,” the D.N.R., (which, along with the B.I.A., is a dumpground for
political hacks who feed off pork barrel legislation and other public carrion)
are stabbing the White sportsmen in the back.While you sportsmen are “Indian bashing,” your own fair-weather friends
in the D.N.R. will be raising hunting and fishing license fees, and blaming you
for their milfoil and other environmental mismanagement.Since the Europeans have been here, they
have polluted the water just like it is in Europe.The D.N.R. is promoting “catch-and-release” because most of the
fish are too contaminated by toxic pollutants to eat.
The conspicuous and highly publicized quibbling about fishing: how big is the
“tribal zone,” and probably the mesh-size of gillnets, and other trivia, also
obscures some billion-dollar questions that neither the State of Minnesota nor
the Department of the Interior want to air publicly: particularly water rights
and mineral rights (like the Mesabi Iron Range, and the value of all the ore
ever removed from there).There are a
handful of Anishinabe Ojibway people still surviving, who were forcibly removed
from their homes preparatory to the mining operations—people who are still the
legitimate owners of everything that was either “ceded” or not ceded by the
Mississippi Chippewa Treaty.
The “treaties” are being negotiated through the Mille Lacs Band of Minnesota
Chippeway Indians 1934 Indian Reorganization Act “Tribal Council.”The “Indians” have no say-so, nor input,
into this “tribal government.”“Indian
country” is just as fictitious as Disneyland, where all of these caricatures of
“animated” make-believe animals occupy the twilight zone in the inner sanctum
of regimented Indo-Europeans’ minds.For
example, there is a little rat named “Mickey Mouse,” who was born in Hollywood
and who speaks English.The United
States Congress foreshadowed Hollywood, and created the Minnesota Chippewa
Indians, and then they invented Indian Tribal Councils.The voices you hear from these fictitious
“tribal” caricatures are also in English, scripted by their W.A.S.P.
puppet-masters, just like all of the voices you hear at the United Nations are
also cast in the single rigid framework of narrow-minded European thought.
If you want to demonstrate, I suggest that you demonstrate against the Bureau
of Indian Affairs, the United States Congress, and the State of Minnesota, if
you’ve got the guts.These are the
responsible parties, who invented the caricatures, forged the “x-marks” on
expedient “treaties,” who forcibly relocated the Eastern Anishinabe Ojibway in
the death-marches of 1850 and 1851, and who have created and continue to
aggravate this corrupt mess.Don’t make
the Anishinabe Ojibway, or the Indians, into a scapegoat, because we had
nothing to do with it.The pious
Christian crooks, who are supposedly the moral leaders in the White
communities, are by their silent complicity, condoning the vicious “Indian
racket,” just like the “good Christians” who supported Hitler’s scapegoating of
the Jewish, Gypsy, and other peoples during the Holocaust.This ancient pattern of Western European
“Civilization;” the occupation of other peoples’ land, is a pattern which the
Indo-Europeans have repeated over and over again for thousands of years.Because of your hierarchial thinking, it
never changes.Minnesota’s present-day
scapegoating of both Anishinabe Ojibway and Indians is virulent right-wing
hatemongering, of the ilks of Pat Robinson, David Duke, and his far-right cronies.(The focussing of attention away from
industrial pollution to “secondhand smoke” is another right-wing diversionary
tactic, typical of the Reagan-Bush administration, just like “abortion,” and
the misinformation which masks the problems of homelessness, unemployment and
slave-labor minimum wages—scapegoating and Willie Horton blame-the-victim
tricks.The Lame Duck is on the way
out, but the consequences of his right-wing policies to destroy families and
family values are still here.The
sacrilegious Right has played a big part in the U.S. government’s latest try at
terminating the “Indians” and abrogating the Treaties.They have told so many lies that they don’t
know which lie is the “truth,” and have fallen for their own propaganda that
Aboriginal Indigenous people are “Indians” and the self-serving lie that the
“treaties” were once legitimate.)
The negotiators for the “agreement” or “accord,” or whatever you want to call
it, are strongly advised to scrutinize the United States Code, Title 18, Sections
1961-68.Neither the Chippewa Indians,
nor the United States Government, nor the State of Minnesota (nor the Northwest
Territories, nor the Pope, for that matter) own the land and resources in
question.The Chippewa Indians, by
colluding with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the State of Minnesota, and
continuing to participate in the dishonest “Indian” identity and promoting the
fictions that the “treaties” are legitimate and “Indians” are the same as
Aboriginal Indigenous People, are putting themselves in violation of the RICO
Statutes.Indian gambling and Indian
treaty-making are both racketeering.You got away with it a hundred years ago, but this is a new age, and there
are a number of Anishinabe Ojibway people who speak English fluently.We, the Anishinabe Ojibway have a right to
exist as a Sovereign Nation on our own land.

Nation: The Minneapolis Star Tribune published an article about sexual abuse on
Red Lake Reservation ...Ojibwe News.
Abstract: The Minneapolis Star Tribune published an article about sexual abuse
on Red Lake Reservation on the front page of the “State/Metro” Section on
Monday, April 26.Staff writer Robert
Franklin used his article about Red Lake High School students’ adaptation of
the play “Touch” to create the impression that sexual abuse is rampant on Red
Lake Reservation.This may, or may not,
be so—Red Lake Court statistics are held as “confidential information” by the
United States Government, under their foreign European paper illusion of
“Indian Sovereignty.”
What the Minneapolis Star Tribune has never clarified is that the “Chippewa
Indians” and the Anishinabe Ojibway are two entirely different groups of
people. The identity of the Chippewa Indians is given to them by the United
States, and is defined by the alien U.S. Government in terms of “blood quantum.”Marrying one’s own blood relatives to
maintain the next generation’s “blood quantum” reflects the French culture and
traditions of the Métis who are now called Chippewa Indians.In doing the genealogy of the French Métis
who have taken on the foreign invented identity of “Chippewa Indian,” we find
that these people were inter-marrying with their own blood relatives even
before they came over here as uninvited guests.The French Métis who call themselves “Red Lake Chippewa Indians”
are much more closely inter-related than most of them realize.The so-called “Chippewa cross-cousin
marriage” recorded by anthropologists is a French Métis tradition.The Bureau of Indian Affairs has been doing
social and genetic engineering on these people for more than a century—and
there is a very good reason why they say that their records are “confidential”
or were “burned in a fire.”
The Aboriginal people who are indigenous to this land here, the Anishinabe
Ojibway, prevented in-breeding with our Traditional system of patrilineal
Dodems and Clans.“Tribal Councils,”
“Bands,” “Tribes,” “blood quantum,” “Chip-aways,” and “Indians” are not part of
Anishinabe Ojibway culture—they are hocus-pocus invented by the invading
Europeans in order to steal our land and hide their ongoing genocide.STACKING THE DECK:I wish that
there was not any gambling, nor any “Indian Casinos” on my land.But, I can’t help but comment on the
fast-moving, fishy deals being cut in the Minnesota State Legislature this
week.On Monday, it was suggested that
“Indian leaders make payments in lieu of taxes” on casino profits.How many “payments” are they going to
make?Will they be forever, like taxes?What’s the difference, and who’s defining
the “Indian leaders” paying off the State of Minnesota?I think that the RICO statute applies to
Roger Moe and the rest of his gang, who are in essence racketeering and dealing
from the bottom of the deck.
The con artists in the State Legislature are playing “Treaty Hunting and
Fishing Rights” off against “Indian Gaming” in order to abrogate the crooked
Treaties and terminate the Indians (without having the State of Minnesota’s
very tenuous title to the land, mineral rights, etc., come into question).I don’t know why the White “sportsmen,” like
Bud Grant, are so worried about the fish, when hunting and fishing haven’t been
in the foreign European culture for at least a millennia.There are no primeval forests in Europe; the
ecosystem is shattered and therefor there are no lakes.The closest thing the Judeo-Christians had
where they came from was the Dead Sea, and there were no forests remaining in
the man-made desert around there, either.(Lakes and forests go together—the Europeans didn’t understand it then,
and they still don’t.)I can’t imagine
anybody in their right mind eating fish in Europe—you can’t drink the water
there, and the European idea of the purpose of a river is as an open
sewer.All you have to do is look at
the Mississippi River, which in the interest of accuracy needs to be re-named
the Great Immigrant European Sewer; the Father of Waters should be known as the
“Great White Father of Sewers.”
The Judeo-Christian Bible stresses re-naming everything in order to claim
it—while they’re at it they should re-Christen the Great Lakes, “The Great
Cesspools.”Even though they say they
used “Indian names” here, the invading Europeans re-named places everywhere
they went, and most of the “Indian names” they used were actually European
Creole words.The European immigrants
say they want “reconciliation,” to “forgive and forget and get on with our
lives [until they do the same old thing again, which always happens].”Before we have the first “conciliation,” we
need geographical truth.Because of the
destruction of the real names of places here, Aboriginal Indigenous People need
to get a Re-Naming Committee together.
For the record, fishing and hunting have always been an inherent part of
Anishinabe Ojibway culture, and fishing and hunting are not in the European
culture.The Europeans found what they
saw as incredible abundance of fish and game here, because the Aboriginal
Indigenous people kept it that way, in harmony, as an integral part of our
values and traditions.I personally
remember drinking clean pristine water from the lakes and waters of my
land.Now, you can’t see the trees and
forests for the stumps.We, the
Anishinabe Ojibway have a right to exist on our own land.Our Aboriginal Indigenous permaculture is an
inalienable part of our birthright.PORK:The “landowners” in
Bemidji claim that their property taxes go to subsidize the AFDC and other
“welfare” programs on the Reservations.When the Good Christians do welfare-bashing, they are psychologically
abusing children, just as they incinerated the Branch Davidian children, and
tortured and brainwashed Indian and Aboriginal Indigenous children in the
Boarding Schools.Christian violence
apparently never changes.By targeting
and condemning “welfare mothers,” the Christians are really putting a stigma on
defenseless children, wallowing in self-righteousness, and reinforcing a
structure designed to destroy families.Anishinabe Ojibway land and resources have been subsidizing the European
immigrants since they got here.You
have been living off the “fat of the land,” living high on the hog, and every
one of the White Bemidji landowners has been subsidized by Aboriginal
Indigenous resources, distributed through your foreign Government.In one way and another, the economy of the
Bemidji area resembles nothing so much as swilling at the Public Trough, while
claiming to be “bringing home the bacon.”When the unemployed and the homeless come asking for minimum
subsistence, these well-fed Pork Eaters slam the door on them.They say, “in a Pig’s Ass,” and make the
people who are without crawl in order to get barely enough to eat.
President Lyndon Johnson was right—the American People are so sedated and
glassy-eyed from pigging out on pork, they don’t even know what’s going on
around them.Americans’ greedy
addiction to pork is why their huge budget deficit cannot be balanced.The U.S. economy is neither “Bearish” nor
“Bullish,” it’s “Piggish.”The Japanese
call you “lazy Americans.”During his
administration, Johnson ordered the whole country to have Swine Flu shots.The Clinton Administration’s recent budget
made a grievous omission when they neglected to include funding for booster
shots for the swine who are slopping at the public trough.That includes your “blood quantum Indians,”
who are not Aboriginal People, and who are not Indigenous to this land.If you have to pay people to be “Indian,”
you’re being short-changed, and you’re not getting your buck’s worth.“Indians” who are bought and paid for are not
worth one red cent.The B.I.A. Indian
identity is a racist stereotype.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

Nation: The Red Lake unsanitary landfill was mentioned recently in the
Minneapolis StarTribune. ... Ojibwe News.
Abstract: The Red Lake unsanitary landfill was mentioned recently in the
Minneapolis StarTribune.The article
quoted Red Lake’s professional indian environmentalist, who cited the Federal
Code about dumping garbage, and complained that these laws are not
enforced.These external laws were
written by Whites for the Reservation, and he complained about “environmental
racism”—that there are no funds allocated by the U.S. Government to maintain an
adequate dumpsite.
There is no such race of people as “indians,” and so for indians, racism is not
the issue.There is discrimination
against indians, and to the Aboriginal Indigenous People whose land this is,
there is racism.This has always been a
“dumping ground.”The Europeans dumped
their people, their crooked legal system, their illegal trusteeship, and their
foreign governments onto Anishinabe Ojibway land over which they have no legitimate
jurisdiction.They have been dumping
their cultural waste for more than a century.According to the Meriam Report, which laid the groundwork for the indian
Reorganization Act, page 110, “Often ... an extremely low grade white, a misfit
in the economic and social life of the white civilization, forms a union with a
low grade Indian.These low grade
whites turn Indian in a way that is quite shocking, and they may be found
existing in shacks that are below rather than above those of the purely Indian
dwellings in the neighborhood.Children
of these unions have frequently the handicap of both bad heredity and bad
environment.”The authors of the Meriam
report followed the U.S. policy of confusing the issue by claiming that
“indians” are Aboriginal Indigenous People, and they do not explain that
indians and Whites are the same people.EDUCATION:There has been much
study and research done on the problems of “indian education,” beginning in the
last century when “education” was crooked English for destruction of Aboriginal
Indigenous culture.Janet Lee Sullivan
did a masters’ thesis studying the educational system at Red Lake in 1972, but
she did not define what she was studying and she chose to ignore the
differences between the indians and the Anishinabe Ojibway.
The early educational programs were called “assimilation,” and tried to make
Aboriginal Indigenous people into Whites, which cannot be done.The only way to change Aboriginal Indigenous
People into “Whites” is by genetic engineering: using White men to create
mixed-blood people with no Dodems and White values.I’m not talking about “racial purity”—the child of an Anishinabe
Ojibway man, no matter who the mother is, still has an Anishinabe Ojibway
Dodem, which the woman has taken on by marriage.This is like the European women taking the surname of their
husbands.The U.S. Government’s use of
patrilineal genetic engineering is why there are so many different surnames
among the blood quantum indians.Blood
quantum is irrelevant, and has nothing to do with whether or not a person is an
Aboriginal Indigenous person.
Now, “indian education” programs are trying to go the other direction, and turn
White indians into a cheap imitation of Aboriginal Indigenous people.It’s hilarious, how foolish these indian
children have been conned into acting, living out a vicious stereotype and
projection.For your information, you
indians are helping the White man commit genocide against the Aboriginal
Indigenous People.Clyde Bellecourt,
Roger Jourdain, Butch Brun, Earl Barlow, Ada Deer—particularly if you’re
getting paid to maintain an indian identity, you are legally liable for
complicity in genocide.
Part of the paradox of Judeo-Christian culture, for the last two thousand
years, has been knowing what’s real and what isn’t.No matter how they try to redefine reality, they can only change
their illusions; they cannot change what is.Brainwashing children in school does not work in the long term, and
trying to turn White indians into caricatures of Aboriginal Indigenous People
is child abuse. It’s about time indians
quit trying to get something for nothing, living out the stereotypes and
waiting for “payment;” and took responsibility for what’s being done to their
children.It’s time to break the cycle
of your illusions of being a “real indian”—instead of stealing from the
Anishinabe Ojibway people, trying to get something for nothing, why not find
out who you really are, quit your bullshitting, and work toward making this a
better world for all of us.There are
no indians here, and there never were.The indians might fool themselves, and their White brothers, walking
around in feathers and acting stupid, but the Aboriginal Indigenous People see
you for exactly who you are.
I, and all of the other Anishinabe Ojibway children of my generation, were
physically beaten in school for speaking our native language.Now, “indian education” includes teaching
the bad actors who are White indians how to speak the invented chip-away
language.It can’t be done, because
there isn’t any such language as chippewa.Why cripple these children teaching them nonsense and hocus-pocus?Why waste all this money teaching children
to be something that doesn’t exist, instead of teaching them the English
language, which is their value system?In a decent educational setting, these children will learn English like
ducks taking to water, because they have White values and an European
heritage.Or, do the indian education
programs have a hidden agenda, because the U.S. Government will not own up to
its violent history here, and is busy trying to create another generation of
indians to hide the genocide and the grand land theft.The indian education curricula are developed
by Whites with larceny in their hearts.(If they were honest, they would be willing to engage in dialogue,
debate, discussion, or even a rap session—but the people in charge won’t return
telephone calls.)What goes around,
comes around.RUMORS AND GRAPEVINE NEWS:The
law firm of Edwards, Edwards, and Bodin have withdrawn their representation of
the Red Lake band of chippewa indians.To me, this sounds like rats leaving a sinking ship.The story goes that there were a priest, a
rabbi, and a B.i.A. lawyer in a lifeboat, after their ship sank.There was land in sight, but they couldn’t
get there, because there were sharks circling the boat.The priest said, “I’ll try to get to land,
because Christ walked on water.”When
he stuck his foot in the water, the sharks came swarming at him, so he
immediately jumped back into the boat.The rabbi spoke up, and said, “I’ll try it, because Moses parted the Red
Sea.”He put his foot into the water,
and the sharks all came rushing at him, so he quickly got back into the
boat.Then, the B.i.A. lawyer said,
“We’ve been at this land business a long time.Let me go.”He got into the
water, and the sharks formed two lines at attention.The B.i.A. lawyer swam safely to shore and got help.After they were rescued, the Rabbi and the
Priest asked the B.i.A. lawyer, “how’d you do it?”He replied, “professional courtesy.”My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

Nation: The regional leadership of the Bureau of Indian Affairs was featured on

Abstract: The regional leadership of the Bureau of Indian Affairs was featured
on the front page of Sunday’s Minneapolis Star Tribune.According to the copyright article, Indian
Preference Earl Barlow accepted vouchers which could be turned into cash at an
Indian casino.Barlow said he gave most
of the vouchers away.Instead of giving
them to his female assistant, he could have given them to the homeless and
starving people on Franklin Avenue.Don’t you think it would have been mighty White of you, Earl, to help
out those poor people, some of whom were disenfranchised by your office?The Aboriginal Indigenous people on Franklin
Avenue are victims of the Bureau’s policies of relocation, land sales,
genocide, and other B.I.A. criminal behavior.
The Star Tribune calls Earl Barlow a “Blackfoot Indian.”I don’t know if the statute has been
repealed, but it used to be that once a so-called Indian became literate and
acculturated, he was no longer classified as an Indian.But, I don’t think that this statute said
anything about knowing right from wrong, or knowing what’s real or unreal.Then again, in researching the history of
the Bureau of Indian Affairs, it looks like none of the Indian Agents knew what
was true and what was a lie, so if a B.I.A. Indian Agent got caught in the
corruption that has pervaded the Bureau of Indian Affairs since it began, they
could just tell a White lie, and their superior would say, “he exceeded his
authority.”Earl Barlow probably
behaved unethically, and peddling influence is a breach of trust—but I don’t
think that there will be any criminal prosecution because Indians don’t exist
and so the Sacred Trust is hocus-pocus.Cheating Indians, who are a non-existent mythology, and making laws for
invisible people, really says a lot about imported European abstract
thinking.The immigrant peoples of the
United States can’t tell fact from fiction. They elected a bad actor, Ronald Reagan, as President of
America.They also created mythological
Indians, and their Indians are bad actors, too.Mickey Mouse gets votes every election—one of these times he’s
going to get a majority.The United
States is in deep doo-doo, and their citizens are living in a world of
delusions.
I asked Red Lake Chippewa I.R.A. Tribal Chairman Butch Brun if he issued Earl
Barlow any vouchers at the casinos, or if former I.R.A. Chairman Roger Jourdain
gave him any vouchers.He said
“no.”But, I didn’t ask the Chairman if
he’d issued any vouchers to Barlow’s assistant, and I also didn’t ask him if
he’d had the casino employees issue any vouchers to B.I.A. officials.The reason I raise this issue, is certain
irate and indignant White males have called me, and have accused me of
profiting from Indian casinos.I have
never seen one cent from any of the casinos, and if I had my way, I would close
them down.These people that called
were concerned about “organized crime” infiltrating the casinos.I replied, “I’ve got news for you, organized
crime has been here on my land since the Bureau’s Indians signed the Treaty in
1863.”I answered these callers, who
were trying to tell me that I was an “Indian who was getting rich from the
casinos,” that I am not an Indian, and that there are no Indians here, there
never were any Indians, and there is no such people as “Indians.”I said that the people who are going around
posing as Indians and making big bucks from the casinos, are White people; they
are not the Aboriginal Indigenous people of this land, they have no roots on
this land, and they do not belong here.These mythological Indians are racist against the Anishinabe Ojibway and
other Aboriginal Indigenous people, and they are stealing Aboriginal Indigenous
Peoples’ land and resources.Most of
these White Indians wear two hats: a White hat and then when they cross the
Reservation Line, they put on their turkey feathers.
The U.S. Government is using the Indian Casinos for social and political
engineering.The casino money helps
support the 1934 I.R.A. Governments, established as puppets for the United
States Government.Casino money
benefits the “in” group, and according to their genealogy, all of these élite
blood-quantum Indians are Europeans, and they are all related to each
other.The United States is using
Indian Gaming to entrench their Indians on Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’
land.The social structure of the
Bureau’s White Indians is based on French feudalism, and the Indian Casinos,
regulated by that White man Earl Barlow, are deepening the hold of the imported
European hierarchial culture and values.Machiavelli explained how this European structure works: centralized
control and “divide and rule” at the same time.Some examples of splitting the community in order to control it
are Noreen Smith’s Indian Health Board, the Minneapolis Indian Center, and the
American Indian Movement.Another
example is “Indian Self-Determination,” some of which is detailed in Title 25,
Section 272 of the United States Code.The U.S. is using Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ resources to fund
Indian Self-Determination.How can
Indians be “self-determining” when it’s rigidly defined by Congress, and funded
through the crooked Bureau of Indian Affairs.Somebody’s in cahoots, and sleeping with some very strange bedfellows.
“The Buck Stops Here,” also known as the Honorable Attorney General Janet Reno,
promised to fight crime in the streets and drug trafficking.Her office needs to look at some of the
criminal Indian Bucks that her Government is funding.The U.S. needs to clean up their own act, first, then maybe there
wouldn’t be so much street crime.The
corrupt government, particularly the Bureau of Indian Affairs and their I.R.A.
Tribal Governments—which the U.S. Congress created and illegally put on my
land, are the role model for the petty criminals in the streets.How can you expect people who are living on
stolen property buttressed by lies and fraudulent land titles, to be honest?INDIAN AND FREE:Red Lake school
is an apartheid school.The reason that
Independent I.S.D. #38 has not run into conflict with the civil rights
legislation about segregation, is because “Indians” are not a race of people.I don’t know how they get around the
Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution, teaching Indian Religion in the
schools.I suppose that there haven’t
been any complaints from the Good Christians because Indian Religion is a
made-up religion, based on Christianity, and has nothing to do with the ancient
Anishinabe Ojibway philosophy and religion, the Midewiwin.

The curriculum of the Indian
schools is insulated from politically correct White liberal criticism by having
Indians wring their hands in the media, and having these White Indians push the
White man’s guilt buttons.The Indians
are just as guilty as the White man, and the educational environment has not
improved for the Anishinabe Ojibway children.I know—I’ve been there, and I see what’s still going on.By pretending that “Indians” are Aboriginal
Indigenous people, the damage which continues to be done to Anishinabe Ojibway
children remains obscured.The Indian
children are also being hurt.Instead
of teaching them “Indian and Free,” the schools should really set these children
free, and teach them English, so that they can see what’s going on, and defend
themselves against being “tracked” into being cheap labor.The “Indian pride” taught in the schools has
nothing to do with Aboriginal Indigenous values—it looks like teaching racist
hatred to me.The idea of teaching the
Indian children to hate White people, when the patriline of these children is
White, is beyond me.I’ve done the
genealogy of the people at Red Lake, and I will show anybody who wants to
know.The Indian Chiefs, recognized by
the U.S. Government at Red Lake, all have White patrilines.What kind of psychological damage does it do
to Indian children, to teach them to hate white people?They are teaching these children to hate
themselves.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs’ records, kept in great detail on every Indian and
most of the Aboriginal Indigenous People, were put together in such a way that
the record-keepers thought that nobody would ever see the fraud of turning
European people into Indians.But, the
important records in determining who has a White patriline, and who has an
Anishinabe Ojibway Dodem, were compiled before computer technology was
invented.Understanding the Anishinabe
Ojibway language, knowing our oral history, and modern technology, have
unscrambled the lies that were coded and indexed. We have used the old and the
new together, and we can tell you who these Indians that the United States
Government created are.The ancient
laws of the Midewiwin are eternal, and neither I, nor the United States
Government, can change them.We, the
Anishinabe Ojibway, have a right to exist on our own land, and our identity is
not subject to theft nor desecration by the White Indians or any other
Europeans.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

Nation: The rumor is that there are two farms which are going to be bought up
by the Bureau of Indian Affairs ... Native American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: The rumor is that there are two farms which are going to be bought up
by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, under the Department of the Interior.One is in Beltrami County, and one is in
Clearwater County.This land has always
belonged to the Ahnishinahbæótjibway.In 1889, it was stolen by unilateral Act of
Congress on January 14, 1889, and such “cession and relinquishment [was] deemed
sufficient [when] made and assented to in like manner by two-thirds of the male
adults of all the Chippewa Indians in Minnesota.”This phrase in the Nelson Act is what created the “Minnesota
Chippewa Tribe,” and now these French Minnesota Chippewa Indians are at it
again.
The Red Lake Chippewa Indians think that they own land, and that they are
buying more land.There are several
categories of land ownership at Red Lake.Most of the diminishing Reservation is Ahnishinahbæótjibway
land which has never been sold or ceded, and which the United States Government
uses the Chippewa Indians to claim—on the plat maps the Red Lake Reservation is
recorded as being “owned” by the United States Government.
The other main category of land is “restored ceded lands.”The Chippewa Indians sold this land for the
Red Lake Ahnishinahbæótjibway in 1889—the land did not belong
to the Chippewa Indians, and yet they sold it, and the United States Government
bought it.Then, the Chippewa Indians
brought the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act onto Red Lake in 1958, under which
yet another colonial government was organized by the U.S.A.In order to get the colonial government onto
Red Lake, the B.I.A. lied, and said that the eastern half of Upper Red Lake
would be returned to Red Lake.(Peter
Graves and Roger Jourdain always blamed Nat Head for the alienation of this
part of upper Red Lake, which was taken in Washington, D.C. in 1889.)This was the promise, but after the I.R.A.
was forced in here under false pretenses, the Indian Givers in the B.I.A.
reneged on their promises, and said they were “giving back” some tax forfeit
lands in Pine Island.This is another
scam—somebody in the B.I.A.’s Good Ol’ Boy network got all of the timber off of
this land, and the title is held by the United States Government.
Now, the Red Lake Chippewa Indians think that they are buying land again.The founding documents of the United States,
the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, define “Indians” as
hostiles who are not entitled to representation in the U.S. Government, nor
civil rights except those provided under the Rules of War.Because the United States Constitution
refers to “Indians not taxed” in Article I, Section 2, and in the 14th
Amendment, Section 2, the logical extension in crooked English is that since
Indians do not pay taxes, they will not be permitted to own land or other
taxable property.The way in which the
White Earth Land Settlement Act unilaterally settled some of the so-called
“clouded title” at White Earth in favor of the Pure-Whites, discriminating
against the allottees at White Earth because they had “tainted blood”—some of
them 1/32 or less non-White blood, is an example of how this works.
What’s really happening is that the United States Government is using the Red
Lake Band of Chippewa Indians as a conduit through which to “buy land” for the
United States Government.The United
States Department of the Interior holds the sovereignty of the “Sovereign
Indian Nations,” whose members are wards of the U.S. Government, under
Trusteeship.Under the U.S. Declaration
of Independence and Constitution, Indians cannot own land or have any
representation in the U.S. Congress.
This is Aboriginal Indigenous land, and there has never been any such thing as
“Indian land.”Before the Treaties were
ever signed, the land was already claimed by the United States Government.The Indians were used by the U.S. as an
intermediary so that the élite could keep their lily-white hands clean, as they
used their low-class European Indians (all of whom have White patrilines) to
steal from the Aboriginal Indigenous people.CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT:
The news media has had a number of stories recently about a Constitutional
Amendment to balance the U.S. Budget.In December of 1889, President Harrison’s message to Congress dealt at
length about the problem of a $5,000,000.00 surplus in the U.S. budget, and
“Congress was urged to take measures to reduce the revenues.”A little more than a hundred years later,
the United States Government has an enormous deficit, and people are talking
about a “Balanced Budget Amendment” to the U.S. Constitution.The U.S. Congress already has the authority
to balance the budget.There is an
urgent need for a Constitutional amendment to keep the patriots and the elected
politicians from pilfering, plundering and raiding the U.S. treasury.UNAUTHORIZED SURGERY:
Ms. Bobbit was recently sentenced to the crazy-house for counselling and
treatment.The all-male staff got
nervous—they had never handled her kind of case before.There was no precedent, and they didn’t want
to create one, so they released her.According to reports, she is going to write a book.I think what she’s writing is a cookbook.One of the recipes goes like this: you do
your shopping at the butcher shop.When
you get home, take out your cutting board, and get a very sharp knife, and then
you take one weenie, and you cut it in half.Rumor is, Ms. Bobbit’s husband used to sing baritone, but he’s now a
soprano.The doctors say that he is
recovering from his “small incident,” and everything will be fully functional
within two years, although he will be short an inch.Hey guys, isn’t that normal?MAIL-ORDER:
Years ago, everyone in the rural areas used to shop by mail.A person could get everything they needed
from the catalog, and some of the old bachelors even got mail-order
brides.(But I never heard of any old
maids getting husbands from the catalog, although maybe they did.)At that time, there was no indoor plumbing.
In the fall of the year, everything had turned brown.This former horse pasture, which was no longer used for grazing,
was full of tall grass and weeds.The
old Indian had put his out-house in the middle of the pasture when he still had
horses, but now, surrounded by all of the dry weeds, it was a fire hazard.Some kids set fire to the dry grass, and
everything went up in smoke, including the old man’s outhouse.The B.I.A. fire department was notified, but
they didn’t arrive until late the next day, after they had gotten approval from
the Secretary of the Interior’s office in Washington.The next morning while he was surveying his misfortune, the old
man remarked to his friend who had come to visit, “Ta-yah! Niij, and I just put
a new catalog in there.”

Nation: The State of Minnesota is trying to turn the 1837 Sandy Lake Treaty
into the “1934 I.R.A. Mille Lacs Band of Chippewa Indians Treaty,” ...Ojibwe News.
Abstract: The State of Minnesota is trying to turn the 1837 Sandy Lake Treaty
into the “1934 I.R.A. Mille Lacs Band of Chippewa Indians Treaty,” and at the
same time the I.R.A. Tribal Council at Mille Lacs is trying to change from
Chippewa Indian into Anishinabe Ojibway.Researching the history and genealogy at Red Lake, we find that the
Aboriginal Indigenous People here were neither Chippewa nor Sioux—they were Anishinabe
Ojibway.We, the Anishinabe Ojibway,
are not the same people as the “Indians.”The people who signed the 1837 Treaty were Government Agents, Fur
Traders, and Métis Indians.We also
have been noticing that a number of Métis have begun erroneously referring to
themselves as “Anishinabe Ojibway.”It
takes more than stealing an identity to live the values of the Anishinabe
Ojibway.For most of these people, it’s
too late by quite a few generations.
With regard to “Treaty Settlements” and “Agreements,” the question is, where
did these Indians get land?There were
no Indians on this Continent before the Europeans got here.Did the Indians get it the same way that
Columbus did, by “discovery”?The
Euro-American history books are full of “Indian wars”—did they use the European
tradition of stealing land by violence?Or, were the “Indians” simply mythologized into having a claim to the
Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ land on this continent by European abstract thinking?The Anishinabe Ojibway did not sign these
Treaties.One does not sell their
religion, their birthright, their identity, the very foundation of their
existence.The Aboriginal Indigenous
people are an inseparable part of the land through our Dodems and the rest of
our spirituality—our relationship with the land is something which cannot be
sold, unilaterally legislated away under foreign European law, nor otherwise
alienated.The “Indians” do not have
the same values and deep connections to the land as the Aboriginal Indigenous
people, and so they’ll sell anything that their White relatives tell them
to.That’s why the White man created
“Indians” and used them to sign treaties selling land which does not belong to
them.The proof of this is clear at Red
Lake—all you have to do is look at the ecosystem which has been plundered and
polluted into wreckage with the help of these “Treaty Indians.”
The State of Minnesota is resting on a very fragile fiction of “land titles,”
although this has nothing to do with the “fishing” that they’re promoting in
public.Read the Mille Lacs “Settlement
Agreement,” word for word, in the foreign shyster European language that they
use.Then, read the “Treaty,” and the
Committee Hearing Reports, and the Bureaucratic Regulations, and all of the
other “fine print” that isn’t even distributed publicly.[In our research, we found that the Treaties
were so shamefully crooked that some Treaty documents relating to Red Lake were
still “classified” or unavailable after 128 years, including land records of
the Chipp-Away Indians who helped steal my peoples’ Anishinabe Ojibway land
with Halfbreed Scrip.The descendants
of many of these same Halfbreed Chipp-Away Indians who got Scrip are now
sitting on the I.R.A. Tribal Councils, still stealing from the Anishinabe Ojibway.]The Treaties are not in the Anishinabe
Ojibway language, nor even in “Chippewa,” they are in Crooked English.At that time, the Anishinabe Ojibway called
this European language “forked tongue speaking,” and understood that they were
lying but didn’t understand all of the details.
A group of Euro-Americans, led by Bud Grant, are claiming that both the water
and the fish belong to the “state,” and thus to them.What did they ever contribute here?All they have been doing is taking, “gimme, gimme, gimme
...”Stumps and polluted water is all
that immigrant Western European $ivilization has left here.If the environment were intact, the way the
Anishinabe Ojibway kept it for millennia, there would be enough fish for
everybody.INDIAN RELIGION:The people
promoting the amendments to the Indian Religious Freedom Act are Wanna-Be’s who
are advancing the genocidal U.S. agenda by implying that the Lakota, Anishinabe
Ojibway, and other Aboriginal Indigenous People are the same people as the
“Indians.”The Aboriginal Indigenous
People do not need a United States law promising “Freedom of Religion”—under
U.S. regulation.What we need is a
World Court which recognizes the legitimacy of Aboriginal Indigenous People all
over the world, rather than an agency of the United Nations using European Law
and composed of European subject people who form de facto colonial governments
for their European grandfathers, just like the Indian Tribal Councils do.We need a “Mind Your Own Business” law,
directed at the wild-eyed fanatics trying to run other peoples’ lives, when
they can’t even manage their own lives.This M.Y.O.B. Law would, by its very nature, take precedence over the
cults promoted by the “Indian Religious Freedom Act.”
When the Europeans and their Indians got here, they did not protect the
Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ sacred sites and burial grounds.They plundered them and robbed the
graves.Under what the U.S. calls
“sacred trusteeship,” they continued the plunder and desecration.Why would yet another amendment change
anything, with the imported European greedy mentality?What the U.S. is trying to do, with the help
of bleeding-heart liberals who don’t understand what they’re promoting, is
unilaterally proclaim jurisdiction over the very foundation of Aboriginal
Indigenous Peoples’ existence.By
passing this law, does that make the Secretary of the Interior an
Archbishop?Does that make Senator
Inouye a Prophet?Will this law make
Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell a Federally Recognized Indian Medicine
Man?Will we have to genuflect at the
B.I.A. Office, and be sprinkled with polluted Holy Water?
The whole “Indian Religion” thing is a fraud and a fake, from Sun Bear to
Princes Moon Beam and Chief Red Fox.“Indian” is a dishonest identity—it’s an ugly and racist stereotype
created by the White man.By denying
who they are, the “Indians” are defeating whatever good intentions they may
have.Go get your real identity, and
then you’ll be able to use the power of who you really are.Is the White culture so racist that the
White fathers of the Métis Indians won’t accept them—or is it so bad that the
Métis Indians created by the White man don’t want any part of Western European
Civilization?INDIAN EDUCATION:According to
an March 27 AP article, a Cloquet Indian parents group wants to fire an “Indian
culture” teacher because she’s White.Since the racist “Indian” stereotype was invented and is defined by
Whites, it seems as though this White teacher should be eminently qualified to
teach children how to be “Indians.”The
AP quotes the chairperson of the Cloquet School Board, presumably a Federally
Recognized Indian, as saying that she thought this White teacher was an
“Indian” because she has “an Indian name, dark hair, and dark eyes.”The B.I.A. could solve the problem by
turning her into an “Indian” with a fancy fractional “blood quantum,” just like
they did for the White “Chip-away Tribal Chairmen” Butch Brun and Sonny
Peacock.The people who are complaining
about the White Indian teacher should research their own genealogies, and start
facing reality.If you have to look at
your Federally Issued plastic laminated identity card to figure out who you
are, you’re in deep doo-doo.

Abstract: The Western Europeans renamed this Continent, and called it
“America.”The Indians call it “Turtle
Island.”What it should really be
called is “Fantasy Island.”A DIME A DOZEN: The Turtle Mountain Chippewa Indians and other Pembina
Wanna-Be’s are having the old carrot-on-a-stick scheme of “payment” used on
them, to keep them from figuring out that they are White people and bribe them
not to leave the Rez and live as a part of mainstream White society that they
really are.The In-Group Indians keep
their Ration Indians so ignorant that they don’t know they can get a hand-out
just as easily off the reservation as they can by selling their self-respect
for commodities and “payment” once a generation.
Guess what, the U.S. Government is buying Indians again.The newspaper articles reporting the “Indian
payment” are written like it’s costing the taxpayers a lot of money for
settling some ancient debt incurred buying land from Indians 98 years ago.But, the U.S. Government isn’t buying land,
they’re buying Indians, and $60.53 per year, per head, is cheap even to buy a
White Indo-European Indian.The “treaty
payment” doesn’t have anything to do with land.Indians are defined as “landless” by the U.S. statutes and
precedents that created Indians.It
says right in the U.S. documents that Indians are never to own land—an example
of this policy is WELSA, under which the U.S. Government gave a few of the
Great White Father’s pet White Indians a “fair price” for stolen land.
The key word in the whole Indian hocus-pocus is Trusteeship.Whatever land the Indian ever might have
owned under imported European law, is taken, without compensation, away from
the Indians, and the title held by the U.S., “under Trust.”What’s the point of making a treaty with
subject people, transferring land that’s already held under White Trust,
changing some aspect of abstract paper ownership from one group of people that
never owned the land, to another group that the land never belonged to.“Title” is an European concept, and has
nothing to do with the inalienable Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ right to our
own land.“Title” is an abstract idea
having nothing to do with reality, and European land title on this Continent is
worthless.
The European immigrants brought their foreign rules with them, not
understanding that their violent way of relating to Grandmother Earth has no
place on this Continent.According to
their rules, from their European perspective, the U.S. already “owned” the
land, and they owned the Indians: by discovery, conquest, by the Louisiana
Purchase.When France fenced the stolen
property involved in “Louisiana Purchase,” their feudally subject people were a
part of the package deal, although the Aboriginal Indigenous People were
not.The Anishinabe Ojibway were not
lost, so we can’t be “discovered,” we are non-violent so we can’t be
“conquered,” and we are not for sale, so we can’t be “purchased.”There is no word for “war” or “peace” in the
Anishinabe Ojibway language, and violence, including stealing land by killing
the people it really belongs to, has no place nor legal validity on this
Continent.The Pembina Chippewa Indians
covered by the “ten-cent treaty,” however, are Indo-European people with
violent European values, and their hierarchial, patriarchal Chippewa language
was edited from an immigrant Creole language by Bishop Baraga, and has all of
the words and concepts required for the European perversions of War and Peace.
The ancestors of the Chippewa Indians who are presently involved in the payment
from the mis-named “Ten Cent Treaty” were sold by France and bought by the
United States, in 1803.As subject
people, how could these Chippewa Indians own land and be signing Treaties.These Indians are living out a fantasy, and
have become a cheap imitation and a caricature of Aboriginal Indigenous People.
The Catch-22 is that the U.S. was (and still is) using the Aboriginal
Indigenous Peoples’ land and resources to underwrite their dollar, so the
low-class Indo-Europeans who sell themselves as Indians and are running around
giving us a bad name posing as Aboriginal Indigenous People—were bought and
paid for with our property.Anishinabe
Ojibway don’t believe in owning slaves and chattel, so you Indians can quit
your charade any time, and start acting like human beings.Everybody is put on this world for a
purpose, and needs to be responsible for their actions.The Indians are acting irresponsible, and
the love-hate relationship they have with the Great White Father is an abusive
relationship.If you make the
Aboriginal Indigenous People into “Indians,” it’s a human rights violation.PROHIBITION:Prohibition didn’t
work during the Roaring Twenties, and after a decade of bootleggers and
gangster’s gunfights, the United States passed a Constitutional Amendment to
legalize alcohol again.
The reason that the U.S. Congress doesn’t want to deal with the drug problem
with common sense—legalization—is that the huge amounts of money in the drug
trade do not stay in the ghettos that are being demolished because of it.Millions of dollars in drug money and luxury
property like Corvettes, which is never accounted for and doesn’t show up on
the books, is confiscated in the War on Drugs and funds a police state and some
big slush funds.I can see why Mexican
President Bob “NAFTA” Dole and his sidekick Jim Ramstad want to maintain the
status quo, and why they’re agitating to remove Dr. Jocelyn Elders.
The smug, self-righteous people who are calling for Dr. Elders’ resignation are
saying that she should mind her own business, and not worry about crime.But, she was legitimately addressing a
health problem.The violence generated
by the drug trade is a serious health problem.Sudden onset lead poisoning is in epidemic stages in the United
States.More people die violently in
the U.S. every day, because of the illegal aspect of drugs, than die in the
Ethnic Cleansing in Bosnia.Could it be
that illegal drugs, and the violence that inevitably accompanies them, are
being used for Ethnic Cleansing in the United States?Is that why Dole is screaming to remove someone who takes a
humanitarian, healing approach to the drug problem.
Dr. Elders did not say that she wanted to legalize drugs, she said that she
wanted to discuss and have dialogue about all reasonable solutions to the
terrible public health problems created by the illegal drug trade.The Western Europeans have a long history of
changing the subject, using inflammatory rhetoric as a diversionary tactic, and
avoiding discussion and dialogue.The
guilt of the people who running Fantasy Island, calling for Dr. Elders’
resignation rather than talking about what’s happening, is obvious.

= (a.k.a. Francis Blake, Jr. (1993). Reflections from the Anishinabe Ojibway
Nation: The White Earth Land Settlement Act was an underhanded backroom deal from
the first draft. WELSA continues the U.S. policies ... Ojibwe News.
Notes: The White Earth Land Settlement Act was an underhanded backroom deal
from the first draft. WELSA continues the U.S. policies which created the
Indian Treaties, the Halfbreed Scrip, the General Allotment Act, the Minnesota
Chippewa Commission, the I.R.A., and Indian Gaming blood quantum vouchers.WELSA was not intended to the few surviving
Aboriginal Indigenous people of White Earth; WELSA was designed to scapegoat
the Indians that the U.S. created, benefitting only the Whites and the Indian
in-group, who are also White, at least on their patrilines.
The purpose of allotment was to destroy Aboriginal Indigenous communities, and
to steal the land and resources.The
Catch-22 is that the Indians who have been used to steal from the Aboriginal
Indigenous People have never owned the land they were selling, so every
generation or so, the U.S. has to use more Indians to steal the same land over
again.When there weren’t enough poor
French people who had already been turned into Indians, the U.S. Government
used the carrot on a stick of “land” and “payment” to give people who had been
labelled “poor White trash” the racist insult label of “Indians.”(According to their genealogies, more than
eighty percent of the allottees at White Earth were Indo-Europeans who had been
turned into Indians.)The
Euro-Americans are still promoting Indians: to try to prop up their invalid
land titles, to promote their mythological version of history, and to hide the
genocide of the Aboriginal Indigenous people.
The United States Department of the Interior explained allotment in internal
memorandum 81642/82069: “Land allotment, under the general and special
allotment acts, has been mandatory.To
each Indian—man, woman, and child—living and enrolled at a specified date, a
separate parcel of land has been attached.The residual lands, fictitiously called “surplus,” have been mandatorily
bought from the tribes by the government and thereafter have been disposed of
to whites.
... Allotment, commenced at different dates and applied under varying
conditions, has divested the Indians of their property at unequal speeds.For about 100,000 Indians the divestment has
been absolute.They are totally
landless as a result of allotment.On
some of the reservations the divestment is as yet only partial and in part is
only provisional.Many of the heirship
lands, awaiting sale to whites under existing law, have not yet been sold, and
the Indian title is not yet extinguished.Under the allotment system it will inevitably be extinguished.
... Through the allotment system, more than 80% of the land value belonging to
all the Indians [sic] in 1887 has been taken away from them; more than
85% of the land value of all the allotted Indians has been taken away.
And the allotment system, working down through the partitionment or sale of the
land of deceased allottees, mathematically insures and practically requires
that the remaining Indian allotted lands shall pass to whites.The allotment act contemplates total
landlessness for the Indians of the third generation of each allotted tribe.”
The White Earth Land Settlement Act is just one more in a string of dirty
deals, using Indians to steal from the Aboriginal Indigenous people, and give
the most valuable plunder to the Whites.In a flurry of publicity, the few surviving original allottees (people
who are now over the age of 93) got big bucks.After public opinion was molded and the main opposition was distracted,
WELSA changed its tune, and the people who aren’t part of the “in” crowd are
getting screwed.Why isn’t WELSA
dividing the present value, or the 1925 value plus compound interest, among the
surviving heirs of allottees, instead of inventing marriages, changing blood quantums,
making up rules about wills, and all kinds of other shenanigans, to make sure
that most of the money stays with the Whites, or goes to Chip Wadena?If a dying woman wills her property to her
young son, where else but on an Indian reservation is the will disregarded so
that Chip, U.S.A. & Co. take the first two-thirds share?For that matter, if the land of the
allotment is in what the U.S. claims as “public domain,” why can’t the heirs
get together and get their land back, and maybe put together a new reservation
without I.R.A. tribal crooks like Chip Wadena, Butch Brun and Roger Jourdain,
and have those “Indian Givers” in Congress give you your Indian Sovereignty
again.The White man tells Indians,
“with one stroke of the pen, you no longer exist,” so that’s probably why it
doesn’t bother them to keep trying to steal the same land over and over
again.Each generation, the descendants
of the White immigrants come up with a variation of the same old boilerplate
scheme.
The WELSA act that was passed by Congress was written to be full of loopholes,
and intended to get people fighting against each other.That some people are scheming against their
own relations for a bigger share of the WELSA pot is an example of why there is
no solidarity among Indians.If you
Indians could get together, you could lobby for a rider to the WELSA act: that
when the present White landholder dies, the land goes back to the heirs of the
allotment; the Whites are paid for “their” land in 1910 prices, divided among
all of the relatives of the deceased landholder since 1900, and the most
corrupt county officials get to keep the money for any deceased heirs they can
find or invent—then Whites can fight among themselves.
The White man over-ran the Aboriginal Indigenous people with poor white trash
that he turned into “Indians.”Now,
Indians don’t have any land, and the White man is still trying to buy time,
scheming to put the insoluble problems, dilemmas, and quandaries that he has
created through his greed onto the next generation.The policy-makers are trying to keep enough Indians to hide the
genocide for another few years, and hoping that nobody will notice that the
White immigrants do not have valid land title, nor eminent domain, on this
Continent.
How many times has the U.S. Congress issued Sovereignty to their Indians?At the Treaties, Indians, who did not have
Aboriginal Indigenous Sovereignty, gave up French Sovereignty or whatever it
was.Conveniently, these Indians got
their Sovereignty back, under Trust, just in time to give it up when they
signed the Indian gaming agreements.Somehow, the in-group Indians just got another dose of Sovereignty from
the Indian-givers in Congress, so now they’re discriminating, sexually harassing,
and breaking labor laws in the Indian Casinos.Indian Sovereignty is a legendary invention of the U.S. Government, and
members of Congress doesn’t have to follow the laws they write themselves (for
example, Senator Packwood and B.I.A. Regional Indian Leader Barlow).The so-called Indian Sovereignty created by
the U.S. Congress does not have jurisdiction over either Aboriginal Indigenous
People, nor Whites.Another word for
Indian Sovereignty, is apartheid.
The American English language, and its embedded Euro-American culture, are
designed to insulate the people who are stealing the most, from responsibility
for their actions.Why should the
mostly White casino employees, who are complaining about unfair labor
practices, be surprised?How can you
expect gambling, which is designed to steal a certain percentage of the
patron’s money, to be honest?If people
are looking for a scapegoat for “Indian gaming,” they should look at the
Department of the Interior, which created this crooked mess using my stolen
resources, and your tax dollars; they should look at the U.S. Congress, which
legislated the corrupt I.R.A. infrastructure; and they should also take a look
at the White stockholders of the White-managed Casino corporations.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

= (a.k.a. Francis Blake, Jr. (1994). Reflections from the Anishinabe Ojibway
Nation: There has been an uproar in the news media about the due process of law
as it is being applied by the government of Singapore to U.S. citizen ... Native
American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: There has been an uproar in the news media about the due process of
law as it is being applied by the government of Singapore to U.S. citizen Michael
Fay.On Tuesday, the Bemidji Pioneer
reprinted an editorial carried by the Associated Press, which concluded that
punishment by caning “is not a matter out of which international incidents
should be made,” although the editorial writer calls this lawful administration
of justice is “a barbaric one.”
The widespread media hype over the punishment of Michael Fay, who has had a
fair and legal trial under the laws of Singapore, is ironic, but probably not
unexpected, since Mr. Fay is an upper-caste White, and under U.S. common law
would be accorded special considerations, meaning no more than a slap on the
wrist.The American judicial system
works very differently for the high-class Whites at the top of the immigrants’
hierarchy, than it does for those non-Whites who are called “low-class.”
The laws on the U.S. books require that a person be read their “rights,” and
define a person as “innocent until proven guilty” under due process of
law.Rodney King had not been convicted
of anything when the Los Angeles police administered some corporal punishment
with a baton (in layman’s terms, a club).When they were pounding on Mr. King as he lay on the ground, did the
police tell him that he was under arrest?While they beat him up, did they read him his rights?What’s the difference between being clubbed
in Los Angeles and being caned in Singapore—a presumably fair trial?
What about all of the “Native Americans” who have had the Minneapolis Police as
their judge, jury, and executioner?Just about every non-White male who has lived in Minneapolis knows what
the “elevator ride” means: after a person is arrested, and has their arms
handcuffed behind their back, half a dozen of the Brave Men in Blue beat the
defenseless “suspect” up, in the elevator in the Minneapolis Courthouse.This barbaric behavior does not violate the
European invaders’ U.S. Constitutional clause about “cruel and unusual
punishment” because for many years, this kind of “elevator ride” was usual and
commonplace, and I suppose in crooked English, something has to be both cruel
and unusual in order to be “unconstitutional.”The Minneapolis elevator ride was sanctioned and funded by the Minnesota
State Legislature, rather than the Ku Klux Klan—or are these both part of the
same thing?
The media’s hue and cry about Michael Fay’s punishment in Singapore has been
drawing on the deep racism against Asians which has been a part of
Euro-American culture for a long time.The media has implied that punishment by caning is Chinese
barbarism.If caning is an indigenous
Asian legal punishment, then it belongs in Asia, just as the English-law
practice of “capital punishment” belongs in England.In the Euro-Americans’ smug self-satisfaction about the U.S.
legal system, they do not stop to think that their imported Roman and English
law is not indigenous to this Continent, and does not belong here.The media has been insinuating that
Singapore’s legal system should be under the supervision of “International
Law.”The Catch-22 is that what they
are calling International Law is an European concept, based on the European
perspective of European languages, coming out of inherently violent Roman Law,
and has no legitimate jurisdiction over the Aboriginal Indigenous peoples of
the world.The so-called “Indian Law”
which is periodically promoted in the media, is also Roman law, and is a
foreign concept which does not belong on this Continent either.

IDENTITY PROBLEMS:
Saturday evening, I received a phone call from a female who refused to identify
herself.She referred to my not voting
in the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act elections for the puppet “Sovereign
Tribal” governments which the U.S. Senate called “Federal instrumentalities for
the implementation of U.S. policy.”She
was upset that I am not an Indian, and claimed that I should not live on what
she called “Indian land.”I told her
that where I live is Ahnishinahbæótjibway land, and has
belonged to my patrilineal ancestors of the Bear Dodem, long before either the
Indians or the Euro-Americans got here.It is still Ahnishinahbæótjibway land, and this place
where I live still belongs to my people of the Bear Dodem.This is not “Indian land,” although I did
not have a chance to tell the anonymous caller that the Indians ceded whatever
claim they might have had under all of the “sacred Indian Treaties” that they
liked to sign so much.Indians are so
uniquely Sovereign that they are wards of the U.S. Government under “sacred
Trusteeship,” as well as being subject to State jurisdiction under Public Law
280.
The Nameless Woman told me I should be “Indian and Proud,” but she couldn’t be
very proud to be an “Indian,” because she hung up on me rather than explaining
how to do this seemingly impossible contradiction.The Indian identity was invented by the Europeans, and the
oxymoron slogan, “Indian and Proud,” was probably written by some White
bureaucrat slopping and pigging out at the public trough on Aboriginal
Indigenous peoples’ resources.The
Indian identity is indefensible, which is why Ms. Nameless hung up. If I didn’t know what it really meant, I’d be
the first to holler “Indian and Proud”—and if “Indians” were real, I’d be
defending them.Since I’ve learned the
English language, and understand all of the ugly stereotypes and racist labels
which are built into the White man’s projection, “Indian,” and all of the other
destructive definitions which are a part of this European word “Indian,” I
don’t know how anybody in their right mind could be proud of being an
“Indian.”As a matter of fact, I
consider the word “Indian” a racist insult, and don’t understand why the Métis
and other people who say they are “demonstrating against racism” aren’t up in
Washington, D.C. protesting categorization as “Indian,” rather than worrying
about inconsequential problems like the mascots of the Atlanta Braves.
A couple of weeks ago, I spent most of the day calling Washington, D.C., trying
to get some sensible answers about the amendments to the Indian Freedom of
Religion Act.If anybody knew anything,
they weren’t telling.All I got was
invitations to the White House’s Media Circus Event featuring Duly Elected
I.R.A. Indian leaders—if I want to look at Indo-European Tribal Chairmen, I
don’t have to buy a ticket to Washington, D.C., to do it.According to media reports, one of the
Wanna-Be Indian I.R.A. Chairmen was in a hurry to catch his private jet.There are some other Indians who have been
forcibly relocated, and travel in the trunks of Minneapolis squad cars, which
are also known as “trunkmobiles.”Ahnishinahbæótjibway
society is egalitarian, but the people who are externally defined as “Indians,”
have adopted the values of their White fathers, and have an amusing class
system as well as a transportation problem.
I suppose that the Real Indian Wanna-Be Leaders get paid good money to be
Indian, and it’s a lucrative job to promote “Indians,” and draw public
attention away from the real problems.I don’t need be defined by the immigrant Euro-Americans, especially not
into a racist and destructive identity.IDENTITYAGAIN:
Tuesday’s Bemidji Pioneer had a front-page article about the Open Doors project
in the Kelliher public schools.According to staff writer Monte Draper, the questions they asked are
“Who Am I” and “Where am I going?”But,
they didn’t want to think about the crucial question: “Where did I come
from?”You have to know how you got to
where you are, as well as who you are, in order to make a sensible decision
about where you’re going—unless somebody’s defining you and regulating your
life as a slave.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs holds massive amounts of genealogical
information—about the immigrant, pioneer, roots of the Whites and the Indians,
as well as information about the Aboriginal Indigenous people.The B.I.A. is hiding this information, which
has been compiled using public funds from mostly public sources, and is
redefining this public information as “private and confidential.”This information is public information which
needs to be released to the community.Call Senator Wellstone at: 1-800-642-6041; Attorney General Janet Reno
at: 1-202-633-2001, or Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt at
1-202-343-7351.(Senator Wellstone’s
number is toll-free.)The Bureau of
Indian Affairs depends on keeping their dirty secrets hidden under
mis-information and bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo, having records destroyed by
Congressional order or negligence; or simply hiding them as
“confidential.”If you are going to
have honest government, that government should have nothing to hide.

= (a.k.a. Francis Blake, Jr. (1993). Reflections from the Anishinabe Ojibway
Nation: Treaties are still in the news.The Tuesday Minneapolis Star Tribune featured a commentary
...Ojibwe News.
Abstract: Treaties are still in the news.The Tuesday Minneapolis Star Tribune featured a commentary
article by Ronald Steiner, stating “Treaties function to specify grants from
Indians to non-Indians,” and adding that “a treaty does not go out of date
until one of the parties ceases to exist, or both of the parties agree to
change it.”
The crucial issue is one which the mainstream media has obscured: the Third
Party—the Anishinabe Ojibway Nation who own and have always owned the land
“covered” by these Treaties, and everything connected with the land.We, the Anishinabe Ojibway cannot sell
Grandmother Earth, because of our religion and our identity.This is why the ecology was abundant and the
permaculture was intact when the Europeans got here with their Indians.These immigrants said we were “not using”
the land, but we were sustaining the ecology and the ecology gave us food,
clothing, medicine, identity, and everything else we needed for life.The Bureau of Indian Affairs, and their
consequent I.R.A. “Tribal Councils,” has always been external governments,
operating under the direction and for the benefit of the immigrant
Euro-Americans.In 1979, a B.I.A.
planning report said (on Roman-numeral page “v”) about the proposed
mutilation of the Anishinabe Ojibway ecosystem at Red Lake, “Such a program
will necessitate changes in certain activities and attitudes that may not be
entirely acceptable to tribal members [meaning the Anishinabe Ojibway].”The White man was blinded by greed, and so
he said that there was “nothing here.”Why do they want to destroy the ecosystem, pollute the water, and steal
the fish, if there is “nothing here.”
The media focus on “treaty rights” has been on FISH.Something smells fishy here, like a rotten red herring drawn
across the real issues.The State of
Minnesota’s January 15, 1993 “Settlement Agreement” goes into great detail:
about catch-and-release, and netting, and spearing, and permits, and etc., and
etc.They are engineering gridlock
about fishing.The emphasis on
“environmental conservation”: catch-and-release, is because the water is so
polluted it’s dangerous to actually eat the fish.In Wisconsin, in order to avoid the issue of mineral rights, violent
confrontations were orchestrated about “spear an Indian, save a Walleye,” and
all of the other ugly racism that the élite in Wisconsin promoted.They even sold “Treaty Beer.”What we need to do is manufacture and
promote “Treaty Tissue,” then everybody in the State of Minnesota can be part
of this crooked “Treaty.”The Tourists
can drink Treaty Beer and then use Treaty Tissue to deal with the inevitable
consequences.Those who don’t drink
beer, can use Treaty Tissue for the Montezuma’s Revenge from drinking the
polluted water.
It’s a certainty that some influential corporation has found something valuable
under “mineral leases” in the Treaty area of Minnesota.The “Indians” who did not own the land
allegedly ceded under the 1837 Treaty did not cede the mineral rights, and
nobody’s talking about the value of the iron ore taken out of the Mesabi Range,
either.
The people who talk about the Treaty should read it, particularly the Wanna-Be
Indians.Among others, Scottish Indian
Trader William Aitkin received twenty-eight thousand dollars for gratuities and
influence-peddling, under Article 4 of the 1837 Treaty.A CENTURY OF PROGRESS, mismanagement, graft, rip-offs, destruction,
pollution, waste, and nepotism.According to a September 26, 1952 Red Lake B.I.A. letter, “since the
construction of the Redlake sawmill at Redby in 1924 approximately 107 million
feet of timber had been sawed from 1925 to 1952.All but 5 million feet had been produced from the Redlake Indian
forest.The total cut from the 105,000
acres up to 1952 was approximately 207 million feet of timber.”This does not include the timber plundered
from the Red Lake Anishinabe Ojibway land which was “ceded” by Indians who did
not own it, and which was never paid for, nor does it include the timber that
was stolen—probably more again than the recorded 207 million feet.207,000,000 feet of sawed boards is a lot of
lumber—and does not include just as much which was wasted.207 million feet of timber will build 23,000
two-bedroom 24 x 30 houses.I don’t
know how many times the people of Red Lake have been told that the “mill is so
you can have ‘civilized’ houses.”And,
if they were placed end to end, the logs would go around the world at the
equator twice.Imagine that: logs one
after the next, extending around the world two times, just from half a million
acres of Anishinabe Ojibway permacultural forest.LENGBY, Minnesota—a story told to me by Dick Anderson:Years ago, when there were family farmers
and they had chicken coops, and country circuses made their rounds, the Gypsies
also came through the small towns.When
they came, the farmers always seemed to be missing a few chickens, and they
blamed the Gypsies.The farmers knew
that their chickens were being stolen, but they could not catch the culprit,
because the chickens disappeared in silence.If a fox goes in a chicken coop, the noise would wake any farmer from a
sound sleep, and he would come out with his shotgun and chase the fox.Dick Anderson said he bribed a group of
Gypsy boys with bottles of pop, to tell him how they stole chickens.He said, “I know you’re stealing chickens,
but tell me how you do it.”They
finally told him, in exchange for pop on a hot day, but said, “don’t tell our
fathers, because we’ll get a licking.”This is what they said:
You go into the chicken coop or the hen-house with a sack at night, when the
chickens are sleeping on their roosts.You take a broomstick, and tap the chicken on the toes with the
broomstick.The chicken will step off
of his roost and onto the broom handle.After the chicken is standing on the broom handle, your partner holds
the sack open, and you just dump the chicken into the sack.All the chicken says is “Ark, Ark,” and then
you go onto the next chicken.If you
grab the chicken and pull him off the roost, he’ll holler and raise a ruckus in
the chicken coop, and you’ll wake up all the chickens and everybody else
including the farmer.
I’m not advocating a life of crime, but almost nobody raises chickens anymore,
so this is just a good story.

= (a.k.a. Francis Blake, Jr. (1993). Reflections from the Anishinabe Ojibway
Nation: Under the Divine Mandate policy of “Manifest Destiny,” the United
States Government ...Ojibwe News.
Abstract: Under the Divine Mandate policy of “Manifest Destiny,” the United
States Government created the Boarding Schools.From their inception into the 1940’s, the specific target of
these schools was the assimilation of the “Indian,” along with the annihilation
of the Aboriginal Indigenous people.When compulsory education for “Indians” was established in the late
1800’s, it was explained that the schools were an integral part of the U.S.
policy to “abolish the party of the second part” to the Treaties, along with
germ warfare: epidemics of smallpox and tuberculosis, and chemical warfare,
including alcoholism.This explicit
genocide policy was still in effect in the 1930’s and early 1940’s.The teachers bluntly told us, “You are the
Vanishing Americans, and you will go.”
The U.S. open policy of genocide changed in the 1940’s because of Adolf
Hitler.The Englishmen were subtle and
refined about their genocide.Rather
than “ethnic cleansing” (to steal land, property and resources) with finesse,
however, Hitler’s plebeian values led him to an unmasked and systematic program
of killing.Hitler studied Anglo
“Indian policy,” and modelled his genocidal tactics after those of the United
States Government and England.He said
of the Russians he proposed to conquer, “we will treat them like Indians.”
When I was growing up, there were a lot of French people who were living on the
Red Lake Reservation.They had been
packed onto the “Indian Rolls” by the United States Government, but they
identified themselves as “French Canadians.”They spoke French, and I remember the lively French Creole music the old
fiddlers played at their dances.I
enjoyed watching people dance the jig and reel.In the 1930’s and 1940’s, there was also a movie theater in Red
Lake.Most of the movies they showed
were Grade B Westerns, with Cowboys and Indians.The French Métis, including the very same people who are so
fiercely “Indian” elders today—at that time they were cheering the massacre of
the “Indians” by the cowboys and the Cavalry.Now that all the “Indians” were killed in the movies, the grandchildren
of these formerly French people want to be Indian warriors and “medicine men,”
and wear buckskin, turquoise and feathers, like “real Indians,” but with an
identity problem.CROOKED MATH: There are several reasons why the Reservation schools
don’t teach advanced math (or English).One of them is so that people won’t be able to figure out that the odds
are always against them in all of the gambling operations.Another reason is because of the blood
quantum.Reservation genealogy records
are also kept “confidential.”The way
that the blood quantum is set up, it leads to inbreeding.Both maintaining a healthy community and
maintaining blood quantum over the generations is mathematically
impossible.The Aboriginal Indigenous
people use their knowledge of their Dodemians and Clans to avoid inbreeding.The “Indians” are not Aboriginal, and so in
order to stay “Indian” they are caught up in using the White man’s scheme of
blood quantum.For quite some time,
they have been in serious trouble with this crooked blood quantum.White writers do Indian bashing about Fetal
Alcohol Syndrome, which may be part of the problem.However, the diagnosis of “Fetal Alcohol Syndrome” is being used
to mask the consequences of “Indians” marrying their own close relatives to
keep up their blood quantum.
Another reason that higher mathematics isn’t taught in Reservation schools is
because of the Treaties.In the 1864
Treaty, the Washington real estate thieves said they were paying “four cents an
acre” to the Red Lake Treaty Indians.The amount on the books as being paid (most of which wasn’t actually
paid) really came out to about a tenth of a cent per acre.Then, the White Government turned around and
sold the stolen land for $1.25 and up.So, the Mille Lacs Indians who are talking about the “new Treaty” had
better start doing some more research, because you’re being ripped of again by
the descendants of the same old immigrant European crooks.VIOLENCE:My mother died when I
was three years old, of tuberculosis.When I was seven years old, my grandfather died, and I also lost my
father.In my formative years with my
grandfather, I remember a lot of love.My grandfather was a traditional Anishinabe Ojibway man, and he never
used violence.Instead of physical
punishment, even spanking, he used non-violent teaching.The lessons he taught were indelible,
whereas the beatings that the White man uses became just a way of life, and the
lessons were forgotten.In the Mission
School, instead of teaching kindness, the “discipline” was just the opposite.
The Civilized Christians used violence.After a whipping, we were told, “don’t cry, be a man.”There was nobody there to come and hug you,
nobody to say “I love you.”I had to
re-learn this from my children, who, after all the years of violence, taught me
how to say, “I love you,” and to hug them.My children are in their late thirties, and when they give me a hug and
tell me that they love me.Non-violence
starts in the family.
Lately in the media there has been a lot of news about children carrying guns
and knives to school, and about gang violence.The children are living out the violence of the society, but they are
also reflecting the values they have learned at home.How many of these gun-carrying children have parents who give
them a hug, and say “I love you?”There
is supposed to be a diversity of cultures in the United States, but the laws
are all European laws written to benefit only the European people.After people get a Rodney King Beating, how
can you expect them to respect the White Law, when this European Law has no
respect for the non-White people under its jurisdiction?There has to be an alternative.We have to work for a non-violent world, to
make this a better place to live.We can
start in our families, by cherishing our children and our parents, by hugging
them and saying “I love you.”Or, are
you too “macho” for that, living out a White stereotype projection of a
“man.”Nonviolence works.I know it.The Anishinabe Ojibway had a non-violent society for millennia.I have lived in both worlds.WACO, TEXAS:Jesus Christ was
celibate the first time he came around.Now that he’s been reincarnated, he has at least fourteen wives—maybe
he’s making up for lost time.There was
a deadly raid on Jesus’ New Galilee compound, and Jesus opened fire on the
other Christians.According to the
papers, they were going to arrest Jesus, alias Vernon Howell, alias David
Koresh, for having an assortment of “high-powered weapons.”The Bible is full of violence.No wonder this reincarnated Jesus took up
assault rifles.There has been nothing
but violence on this Continent for five hundred years, since the immigrant
Europeans got here.The Prophets in
Christianity have always said, “if Jesus returned, they’d kill him again.”The moral of this story is, don’t be
reincarnated as Jesus Christ, because the Good Christians will crucify you
again.The news media haven’t spelled
out who is the “cult” and who is the “sect.”Both are violent.

The people who were relocated included French Moorish people, Spanish Moors,
Mulattos, Métis people, and also some Aboriginal Indigenous people were moved
along with them.They lumped them all
together and said, “you’re Indians.”Part of the point of the relocation was to prevent the dark-skinned
Moors, Mulattos and Métis from contaminating the Clean Gene pool of the
W.A.S.P. Whites, particularly to keep them away from White women.
Relocation also prevented people who had been “corrupted” by contact with
egalitarian Aboriginal Indigenous peoples from disrupting the English
hierarchial social system.
The Euro-American historians wrote in their version of history to say “the
Chippewa Indians came from the East.”There are no Chippewa Indians.We, the Anishinabe Ojibway, have always been right here.We have a right to exist on our own land.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

when you made a purchase you got your money’s worth? ...
Abstract: Remember when a nickel was a nickel and when you made a purchase you
got your money’s worth?
This was part of the Great Depression, the C.C.C. and W.P.A. and money was
scarce.
If you happened to be in town and had money to purchase a pack of cigarettes,
and carelessly opened your cigarettes in front of all of the jobless and
unemployed people hanging around town, your tobacco would quickly
disappear.If you lit a cigarette,
before it was halfway smoked, someone would say, “give me a drag, give me
butts.”Those were the good old days.
Remember when tobacco advertisements on bill-boards were just starting to
clutter the highways and roadsides, signs like Burma Shave, Chesterfields,
Lucky Strikes, Camels, and a Copenhagen sign which read “snuff said.”This was in the days when bars still had
polished brass spittoons, drinking alcohol was acceptable social behavior, and
chewing tobacco and spitting was “cool.”I once heard an old Scandinavian mutter as he slowly ambled by, “what’s
the youse of chewing snoose, and spitting out the youse, ‘by Golly’.”
As youngsters, the Duke’s advertisement was our favorite.The poster showed a young man standing in
front of an airplane, wearing a helmet and goggles and a white scarf blowing in
the breeze, high top boots—a uniform of daring and adventure.The sign read, “Dukes keeps ‘em rolling.”
We young boys wanted to belong and be part of the crowd.We pooled our pennies and when we had gotten
five cents, some one went into the store, and bought our prize, a bag of
“Dukes.”
The grown ups displayed their bag of “Dukes” by letting a small round white tag
hang out of their shirt pocket, on a yellow string which was used to close and
open this little cloth bag of tobacco.
We were not old enough, so we had to hide our prize until we got to our
destination, a safe place in the woods.Cigarette papers were provided with this bag of Duke’s tobacco, and we
would roll our own and sit back, smoke, and dream about being a pilot and able
to fly away.
But we were quickly jolted back to reality when the town bully suddenly
appeared, and took our treasured bag of “Dukes.”The bully knew that we were not supposed to have tobacco, so he
threatened to turn us over to the local authorities, and when we protested, he
decided he was the judge, jury, and executioner.He placed a number nine boot along our backsides, and we went
howling and crying down the pathway.After several hundred yards, we stopped, nursed our wounds, wiped away
our tears, and talked abut when we grew up we were going to come back and give
this bully the same treatment, and maybe a little more for good measure.
Times have changed since I was a youngster.The Good Citizens have “No Smoking” signs everywhere, smoking is banned
in all Federal Buildings subsidized by tobacco taxes, and packs of cigarettes
are sold at inflated prices.
And, we are told that smoking is bad for one’s health.
Times have changed, although smoking is still here.Some people call the new age tobacco Mary or Marijuana, taking a
toke replaces asking for a “drag,” and one does not ask for “butts,” as the
modern hand-rolled smoke is reverently passed around.
It is also called “taking a hit,” after this funny cigarette is about half
smoked.
Some one will exclaim, “this is good shit.”How times have changed.
Oh, I wish I could kick this dirty habit of nicotine and tobacco, and be like
the “good people,” able to say, “smoking is bad for your health.”If only I could reach my lofty perch of
moralizing abstinence, and from there look down at the near mortals, wallowing
in their vices and filthy habits, and with scorn and contempt, self-righteously
proclaim from my bully-pulpit, “I don’t smoke.”
But, Alas!I am hopelessly addicted to
caffeine and nicotine, and after I pass on I know I will surely be where losers
and the rest of the addicts go.
And, pay the consequences yet again.
Oh! How I wish for the good old days, when some one would say, “give me a
drag,” or “give me butts.”
How times have changed, or did they?Wub-e-ke-niew
